Also, my experience
I also wanted to interject my own experience with this- I'm dating a wonderful man (we are mid 30's and both divorced) for two years now, and he's got "issues" with emotional abuse and invasion of space from his ex-wife. I, too, was living out of a bag for a long time; he's kinda far away and I can't just pop over to my place to change for work, etc. It's taken him a long time to feel comfortable enough and trust me enough to let me start to have my stuff there and, you know, semi-move in. But, dammit, he's given me a key. Only after two years has he been ready, but as soon as I put stuff in a closet and stuck my toothbrush in the holder he handed me the key. He's still a little nervous about me going over there when he's not home (he does have two would-be escapee dogs,) but he has NEVER EVER EVER denied me access to my own belongings that HE ALLOWED me to keep there. Period. And he has never treated me with dosrespect, either. So you see, there's room for "issues" without treating someone like a dog.
