Is it true that if you give him nothing to work with he will stop controlling?

Give a guy no more attention and he will have nothing to work with anymore. He can talk to himself all he wants, as he may be the only one that gives himself the kind of affection he is looking for. Especially if its immaturity. A guy that lives with his parents and needs to talk to mommy every single day isn't the kind of guy ready for a commitment. Take away all the attention he used to get and he will be lost and crawling back to you.
