Hello! I really hope my answer can help you in some way.
It's so important to understand that when someone wants to control you, it's often because they're feeling insecure and afraid of losing you. They need to feel secure in the relationship, and they'll do whatever it takes to gain that sense of security. So, they'll ask you lots of questions, like what you're doing, who you're with, where you are, and so on. They might even seem annoying, but they're really just trying to show you that they care and that they want to know you're safe.
So, if you want to stay with him and build a long-term, stable relationship, it's really important to understand the reasons behind his behavior, to understand him, and to meet his needs. I promise you, if you do that, his behavior will change!
I really want to help you, so here's my advice:
1. Try to understand his behavior by seeing that behind the control is care and insecurity.
It's totally normal for a person to want to control because they feel insecure and don't have enough confidence in themselves. It's a way for them to gain inner peace by controlling the situation.
This is actually related to his upbringing. In his relationships during his upbringing, he had some tough experiences. So, when he encounters some unstable situations, he will become nervous and anxious, afraid of losing the relationships and people he values.
So you'll see that the more he wants to control you, the more he cares about you.
Give him all the love and support he needs, and let him know how much you trust and appreciate him.
Now that we've identified the needs behind his behavior, we can work together to promote the development of the relationship and maintain its stability. There are ways we can meet some of these needs to help the relationship grow even stronger.
You can often tell him, "You can trust me, I love you the most, I am the only one for you..."
After a while, when he feels secure and grounded in your relationship, he'll stop being so controlling.
3. When you really listen to each other and share your true feelings, it helps your relationship grow and develop.
Communication is so important in relationships! It's really effective when you both express your deeper needs and feelings, rather than getting into those superficial arguments and accusations.
For example, you could say something like, "I don't feel very comfortable when you keep asking me where I am today. I really need your trust. In the future, when I'm busy, could we contact each other every two hours or so? You could also invite him to express his feelings and needs.
This will help you both understand each other better, which is great for your relationship! Every little disagreement is an opportunity for your relationship to grow stronger.
I hope this is helpful for you! Wishing you all the best!

I feel like he's just really into knowing every detail about my life lately. Maybe it's his way of showing care and wanting to be close.
It seems like there's a pattern here, he wants to know everything which might be his unique way of expressing concern or maybe even jealousy.
This could be a sign that he values our time together so much that he wants to track all the moments, even when we're apart.
Perhaps he's just naturally curious and enjoys being updated on my daily activities, not necessarily anything more than that.
Feels like he's trying to establish a deeper connection by staying informed about my whereabouts and what occupies my day.
