Question Title

Your friend Nadia met Harry after coming to Canada as an international student. Soon, they started dating. At first, the relationship seemed perfect. Harry was charming and supportive, helping Nadia navigate her new environment. However, as time passed, Nadia became uncomfortable about Harry pressuring her into sexual activities she didn’t want to try. When she expressed her discomfort, he told her it was normal in Canadian relationships. He started to belittle Nadia’s cultural background, making derogatory comments about her accent and traditions. He mocked her efforts to integrate into the Canadian culture, saying that she was not meant to be a Canadian because of her old-fashioned ideas about sex.

Despite Nadia receiving a scholarship and working part-time, Harry took over their finances. He insisted on managing her bank account saying this was the least she could do since she didn’t love him enough to do what he wanted during sex. He would use her money for his own needs, often leaving her with little money for personal expenses. He would justify it by saying he was more experienced in handling finances, and she owed him for helping her adjust to Canada.
