A possessive partner might push your boundaries by appearing when you least expect it. " For example, showing up to a lunch date you're having with a friend with a bottle of wine for you all to share, and then not leaving," Nickerson says. While it might not seem like a big deal, it could actually be their way of controlling the situation, Nickerson says. Or, it could be that they didn't trust where you were and wanted to check in. Or that they didn't feel comfortable being apart — the list goes on and on. While the occasional drop-by can be a pleasant surprise, your partner should be OK with giving you space and respecting your time with friends. If it seems like they're being clingy, let them know that won't be cool going forward, and see if they're able to change.
