With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching it is important to discuss what healthy and unhealthy relationships look like. Oftentimes, things that may initially be seen as “cute” or “romantic” can lead to unhealthy behaviors in relationships. Something that might start out as innocent such as “my partner always wants to spend time with me” can lead to “my partner won’t let me leave the house without them.” Another example would be your partner telling you what to wear. Maybe they say, “I don’t like it when you wear a tight shirt because someone might check you out.” These seem like innocent comments that come off as protective or loving. Another example is “I don’t like when you talk to that specific friend. They make you act differently.” Although this seems harmless, and you may feel they are doing this in your best interest, it may be done because they feel threatened by this friend. They may try to do this to also start to slowly isolate you from friends and family. The more isolated you are the more you will rely on your abuser, giving the abuser more power and control over you. But far too often these initially “protective” comments and actions can turn into controlling and abusive behaviors.
