Signs You Are In A Relationship With A Controlling Partner

In real life, love requires trust, space and respect and not obsession and manipulation. Many women are stuck in a relationship with a manipulative and controlling partner and they feel his behaviour is a sign of love and devotion. Do not be deceived, this is absolutely untrue!

Here are some signs he is very controlling

1. Making love conditional

In this case, every expression of love has a conditional phrase. Phrases like “I love you so much more when you lose weight. “If you can’t help me out with my finances, then why are we in this relationship”. “You’d be beautiful if only you made more effort”. This clearly shows that he/she does not think that you are good enough. This is one indication of a manipulative and controlling person.

2. Always monitors you

When a partner monitors every step taken and demands to know everything and constantly snoops around, that partner is controlling.
Checking call logs, e-mails and demanding explanation for everything is a sign that he has no interest in trusting you.

3. Isolating you from friends and family

They do not come on strong but rather do it subtly. This is a sign of a controlling person. They start commenting on how often you call your family or close friends and gradually it turns into complaints. They find reasons you shouldn’t spend time with your close friends and slowly strip you of support system that way there is no one to lean on.
