Possessiveness is not always alluring or appealing, as many people think. When jealous, your partner can be overly negative and repulsive, when boundaries get crossed. Being possessive means they are controlling, manipulative, and very insecure about their partner.
Here are some glaring signs your partner is very possessive about you.
Your partner won’t stop texting you once or twice. Instead, they will send you a plethora of messages and calls to ask you about your whereabouts.
They will try to throw a tantrum even if you go out to meet your friends. They hate being left out and correlate that feeling with abandonment.
Your partner may expect you to answer their call on the first ring or come home exactly at the given time. They will refuse to cut any slack to you because they are way too worried about where and with whom you are spending more time.
While genuine compliments are nice, excessive flattery can be a tactic to manipulate and control you.
Deciding what you wear, what you eat, or even who you can talk to on the phone without any real reason.
Becoming overly suspicious or upset about your interactions with friends, especially male friends.
Making you feel bad for spending time with others or doing things that don't involve them.
