I hate to say it, but being with someone who 'bans' you from going to the pub sounds like a very bad idea. I was with someone who was similar, and it wasn't nice. It may be that he doesn't 'check up' on you now, because he feels that he controls you to the extent that he doesn't need to check up any more. I would really consider whether you are truly happy in this relationship, because possessiveness, mistrust and jealousy are not good things to be present.
