Once you realize you are in a controlling relationship, you need to take the necessary steps to reclaim your freedom. Controlling relationships can stifle not only an individual's growth but also the relationship's evolution. Feeling trapped in a situation where you feel confined can lead to resentment, depression, low self-esteem and isolation. If you think you're in a controlling relationship, you can work with your partner to change this pattern, as well as rebuild your self-esteem and individuality. And, if your partner is inflexible, then you need to move on as soon as possible. |
