Answer
Having been in a abusive relationship myself yes this is an abusive relationship waiting to happen. My boyfriend had constantly called me and usually at some of the most inappropriate times. It could be 4 in the morning and he would be calling me especially when I had to get up for work the next day. He would then call me when I was at work repeatedly and then he would manipulate the situation accusing me of cheating or if I was with some other guy. If this isnt a sign of insecurity at its finest what isnt? You can do better because this can later escalate to emotional abuse. I would decide whether you want to keep staying with this guy or making a clean break and moving on.

Expertise

I can answer just about anything on abusive relationships, but I can't give legal advice on how to get out of one that's something you need to speak with an attorney or a counselor trained and certified to deal with domestic violence issues to get resources in pursuing any/all legal recourse(s).

Experience

I have been in abusive relationships and I have shared my experience in helping others to get out of these types of relationships. I was in two abusive relationships one lasting nearly 2 years and the other for 5 years.
