1. Possessiveness
Possessiveness originates from an individual’s feelings of insecurity. The possessive individual demands complete dedication and loyalty and becomes jealous and controlling if their partner causes them to doubt this dedication in the slightest. If a partner tries to break free of a possessive individual it increases the individuals insecurities and they become desperate to regain control. Specific examples of possessive behavior in a relationship
All your decisions are based around your partner’s approval
Your partner decides who your friends are
Your partner systematically removes people who are close to you on “your” terms and either replaces them completely or converts the closeness to one that is on “their” terms. You cannot go anywhere or do anything without your partner or their approval
Your partner checks your phone constantly and (in some cases) uses it to send messages pretending to be you
Your partner uses your social media pretending to be you and edits your friend lists and post posts to “re-affirm” your devotion to each other
Your partner checks your personal emails
Your partner becomes distrusting and upset when you deny them access to the above. 2. Controlling
A controlling individual’s primary concern is their own self-interests.
