Relationship advice: Often in relationships, we try to control or change a person to fit the reality and the idea of the future that we have created in our mind. However, it can prove to be extremely toxic to the individual and the relationship. A person of a controlling nature tries to dominate by manipulating the other person to fulfill his/her desires and needs. Those people can do this who struggle with the feeling of insecurity. But the controlling feeling of the partner in the relationship is not good for the relationship. Therapist Alison Kellam-Aguire has shared this on her Instagram.
Signs of controlling behavior in a relationship
If the partner tries to tell every time what they are allowed to do and what not, then it is controlling behavior. Advising someone is a different thing, but forcing someone to do something is a toxic attitude.
When your partner interrupts life in those things which should not be related to him, it means that he is trying to control you. Whereas, in a toxic relationship, the partner tries to keep you away from your loved ones. Which is not right.
We should never try to change people to match our false narrative of reality. Asking others to think and behave like us kills their individuality, they become dependent on you which is not good for the relationship.
