Red Flags: Am I causing them?
When you don’t trust your partner to be apart from you, and when you’re overly jealous, that’s a red flag. You may think this behavior doesn’t qualify as control since you’re not asking your partner to change their actions – you’re the one who’s rearranging your own plans. But by not letting your partner out of your sight, you’re controlling their freedom to do the things they enjoy on their own. Jealousy is not an excuse to control someone’s behavior, and it’s up to you to find a constructive way to handle that feeling without trying to take charge of your partner’s life.
