There is a warm, fuzzy feeling that comes with the constant presence of your partner. you feel protected and cared for.
Overtime, this can change very quickly and leave you feeling stifled and unable to get time to yourself.
The difference is an over-possessive person who has made it his or her lifework to monitor and control you. Most times, this kind of behavior is as a result of underlying insecurities and self esteem problems.
We present three major signs of an over-possessive partner in order to allow you arrest the situation quickly.
You constantly have to check in
For most people dropping their phone to get busy with the day’s activities is a normal routine.
To a person with a spouse who is too possessive ,39 missed calls, 14 messages and one heart nearly bursting out of the chest are a daily struggle.
For someone in a relationship with an over-possessive person, they are constantly mandated to check in. Throughout the day there will be countless calls trying to determine; where you are, who you are with and when you are leaving.
Not checking in with a partner who is overly possessive may lead to an endless stream of accusations in your messages.
You do not have alone time anymore A relationship does not have to mean the loss of individual tastes and preferences. An over-possessive partner will impose himself or herself into every facet of your life.
The question is always; where are we going ? or what are we doing ?
In extreme cases, such a partner can track you down and follow you to outings uninvited. It becomes frustrating when a person abandons their interest and makes it their life work to monitor you.
Your partner patrols your social media account It is 3 am when you are supposed to be sleeping. Instead, you are trying to assure your partner that the comments left on your last picture on Instagram do not mean you are cheating.
A significant other who is over-possessive has trust issues, and would readily turn to your social media accounts in search of proof.
You constantly have to apologize to friends after your partner leaves rude replies to comments. You might also have to deal with requests to take down a picture, just because they are not comfortable with it.
If you have consistently noticed these signs, it is time to have a honest conversation about trust with your partner. You can also seek the support of a counselor, to help you get through.
