Hi Thanks for reaching out. Your concern is your partner is extremely possessive. You can talk to your partner and ask her what is making her be possessive. She could be going through something that is making her feel anxious. She could be having relationship anxiety. She does not like it when you call your mother or sister. Your partner could be going through a phase where she is feeling anxious in the relationship. Talk to your partner and ask her what is making her feel possessive. To determine if this is a psychological issue or common relationship problem consult a psychologist and explain about your partners possessive behaviour in detail. You and your partner can seek therapy sessions together. I understand you are worried about your partner’s possessive behaviour. It is important to know what is causing her to be possessive. If you really like your partner and want to take the relationship forward you and your partner can consult a psychologist for counselling sessions.

Her possessiveness may stem from past trauma or insecurities. If possible, understanding her triggers could help. If communication doesn’t improve things, couples therapy can provide a neutral space for both to work through this.

focus on emotional well-being and not lose himself in trying to fix the relationship.

Hi, Thank you for reaching out. This sounds a difficult situation to navigate in. Couples therapy is an option if both of you are open to it. On the other hand, individual therapy for yourself will help you build more awareness about yourself in the relationship and working out a way to communicate. It will also help you understand what can your next steps be!

Possessiveness in relationships often stems from deep-seated fears of abandonment, insecurity, or past experiences. While reassurance can help, excessive jealousy and control over whom you talk to—especially family—can become unhealthy. When a partner’s emotional needs start impacting your well-being, it’s important to establish boundaries. The goal isn’t just to “fix” the situation but to create a dynamic where both partners feel secure without controlling each other.

Recognize emotional dependency: If your partner seeks constant validation, reassure her but also encourage self-confidence. Example: “I love you, but I also need healthy relationships with my family.” ✔ Set clear but compassionate boundaries: Example: “I will always be there for you, but my relationship with my family is equally important.” ✔ Notice patterns: Does her possessiveness lessen with reassurance, or does it escalate over time? A controlling pattern may indicate deeper issues that need professional intervention. ✔ Encourage open conversations instead of just reassurance: Ask what makes her feel insecure. Example: “What makes you feel that I’m not interested in you? Let’s talk about it.”

If possessiveness continues to escalate, seek individual therapy to assess how it’s affecting your emotional health.

Hi Possessiveness comes insecurities. Your partner may have gone through tough or rough past. She might be going through trust issues in her relationships. Her relationship with her parents and her parent’s relationship needs to be understood to understand her. Both of you would have to see a psychologist.

Ask her about her past experiences. Try and understand what makes her so insecure.

Hi, This situation presents a complex challenge, and the possessiveness you describe, coupled with her insecurity and reactions to your relationships with family, suggests underlying psychological issues that are impacting the relationship's health and your mental well-being. While some jealousy and possessiveness can be normal in relationships, the intensity and the impact on your peace of mind suggest that this is more than a common relationship problem. Her behavior could stem from several psychological roots, including attachment issues, anxiety, low self-esteem, or past experiences of betrayal or abandonment. Her feelings of your disinterest, her difficulty in accepting your interactions with family, and her need for constant reassurance are all red flags. Handling this in a healthy way requires a multifaceted approach. First, have an open and honest conversation with your partner about your feelings and the impact her behavior is having on you. Express your concerns without being accusatory, using "I" statements to communicate how her actions make you feel. For example, "I feel overwhelmed when you get upset about me calling my mother because it makes me feel like I can't have a relationship with my family." Secondly, encourage your partner to seek individual therapy. A therapist can help her explore the underlying causes of her possessiveness and develop healthy coping mechanisms. It might be helpful to gently suggest that the therapist could help her understand the source of these feelings and build more secure and trusting relationships. If your partner is receptive to this, it is the best first step. Simultaneously, consider couples therapy. A therapist can facilitate communication, help you both understand each other's perspectives, and work through conflict resolution strategies. Couples therapy can provide a safe space to address the power dynamics and the emotional impact of her behaviors on you, while also working on relationship skills. Setting healthy boundaries is crucial. This may involve establishing clear expectations regarding your time, communication, and interactions with others. Be prepared to calmly and consistently enforce these boundaries. For instance, you might say, "I love spending time with you, but I need to talk to my mother on the phone. This is important to me, and I hope you can understand." Your mental health matters. If the situation continues to negatively impact your mental peace, seek support for yourself, such as individual therapy or counseling. This can help you develop coping mechanisms and ensure that you're not sacrificing your well-being for the relationship. Ultimately, the goal is to foster a relationship built on trust, respect, and mutual support. However, if your partner is unwilling to address her issues or consistently disregards your needs, you may need to evaluate the long-term viability of the relationship for your well-being.
