At the beginning of a relationship, jealousy, and possessiveness can seem cute and fun because your partner makes you feel undeniable love and loyalty.
Is he jealous? It means he likes you – at least that’s a general idea.
However, if he doesn’t stop after some time, he will resort to clinging to you and suffocating you, and this can be very dangerous.
To avoid this from happening to you, look closely at all the signs that indicate a jealous and possessive partner so that you can get out of that relationship at the right time.
There is a fine line between a protected partner and a possessive partner, but many people still don’t know the real difference.
What is the difference between harmless possessiveness (which appears at the beginning of a relationship with insecurity) and aggressive possessiveness? At what point do we have to say, “That’s enough?”
Although you may all be reluctant to admit that you have a possessive partner, you have to stay true to yourself and see your relationship for what it is.
You need to recognize the following 10 signs that will reveal if your “red zone” partner is jealous and possessive.
In a possessive relationship, you don’t have any personal space.
If your partner is possessive, he will take your personal space and make it his own. This will leave you feeling anxious.
It tells you what to wear
He will always control what you wear before going out. You will have to get his permission before going out.
He needs to make sure you’re dressed “appropriately” and according to his standards.
He’s texting you while you’re out
For some reason, your partner is always checking up on you when you’re out and about.
He’s texting and calling you more than usual. He doesn’t trust you.
He wants to be a part of all your decisions
It’s good to have your partner a part of your life in this way, but you have to draw a line somewhere.
Every decision you make – your partner needs to be a part of it.
You will feel pressured to do what he wants you to do, even if the decision has nothing to do with him.
He is emotionally manipulating you
Possessive partners want the person they are with to have low self-esteem and no self-esteem.
They love to emotionally manipulate and side with their partners so that you cannot know what is best for you.
He says: “I do it because I love you”
He justifies his jealousy, paranoia, toxic behavior, and need to control everything with “He’s only doing it because he loves you.” Don’t buy this crap!
He only says this to avoid responsibility and guilt. Maybe you bought this apology in order to justify his destructive behavior only because you were unconsciously afraid to face your reality.
