Do I have a right to be concerned?
I have been dating a man for 6 months. The biggest things I have noticed is his tone of voice when
he talks to me, like I am a child or just not correct about anything. His past which includes drunk driving, an ex claiming he hit her( he denies), and job loss due to theft. I did not know all of these things until recently. He also is very pushy about my past and who I dated prior to him and is hard
into recreational drugs at times above all else, I just don't have a good feeling.
I know I should follow my gut but does any of this sound like enough to end the relationship?
Wow
Thank you everyone for your replies.
I guess I needed to hear it from someone else, I appreciate it.

You should definitely follow your gut. 99.9% of the time I would say that everyone I knows' first intuitions have been right. And when I listen to mine, I always end up glad that I did. The signs of him being a major set back in your life are all there: criminal record, alleged abuse. You don't need this extra baggage. There are good men out there, and he's taking up the place where they could be in your life. Never ignore your feelings, a lot of people who do, often regret it. I wish you well, and sincerely hope you don't sweep this situation under the carpet.

This isn't a good guy we're talking about. He could very well have, 'thief', 'druggie', and 'drunkard' labelled on him. Break up. It can't get worse than where it is right now. If he really did love you, he wouldn't address you in that tone of voice. You could try clarifying things with him if you still don't know what to do. Good luck! :)

Leaving a relationship is hard. It may hurt at first, but in this situation, it doesn't look good for you. It's a good thing you found all of this out earlier rather than later. Sever the ties and move on.

Ummmmm... Well, he sounds controlling and although his past is not something that parents would approve, it does happen and not as harsh as it appears here.
It may be that he is not pushy but you prefer not to discuss your past with someone whom you are not fully committed to, as yet.
In my opinion, considering that your age may be barely past high school age, I'd say that, firstly, he is way too old for you, his experiences are way past your own, and that you really need someone who hasn't been around the block more than once.
