Control in a relationship is more likely to indicate a lack of trust than any good intentions on the part of the partner.
You can recognize strange behavior without much difficulty if you look closely and listen to the behavior of your man or woman.
This is a delicate topic and requires attention, because behind the apparent concern there may be a desire to control your behavior.
And this is already an interference in personal space, which does not strengthen the relationship and violates your freedom - you should not expect changes for the better.
Relationship experts have named five signs that mistrust is already part of your romantic history.
Partner makes ambiguous comments
Strange "jokes" may concern appearance, intelligence, and table manners.
And the more emotionally you react to such attacks in your direction, the more painfully your partner will put pressure on you - sarcasm and humiliation do not get along with sincerity.
Your partner is trying to access your smartphone
And not just your smartphone. Any desire to look into your closet where the skeleton is hiding is an encroachment on your inner world.
Your partner may react to the fact that you are texting someone, but he has no right to demand to read your instant messaging or account password.
The partner clarifies your schedule in detail
You may be wary if you are not concerned about plans for tomorrow, but rather are interested in how your day went and when questions take the form of an hourly report.
This also includes demands to immediately respond to phone calls or instant messages and subsequent quarrels due to disagreements on these issues.
Your partner doesn't want you to see your friends.
If your partner is trying to persuade you to do something else instead of going to dinner with relatives or a party with friends, then he or she is clearly neglecting your interests.
Usually in such cases they hide behind imaginary care or a desire to spend time together. In reality, this is manipulation.
Your partner doesn't consult you when making decisions.
This can affect any area of relationships – financial, intimate, domestic.
And if your partner criticizes every decision you make or refuses something, the relationship is clearly far from reciprocal.
