The Mentality of control in relationships!

@dayotemi: This type of mentality should be eradicated from the surface of the earth. Why would anyone want to control who his or her spouse talks to? That's pure obsession and insecurity. In relationship, we should learn to trust our partners and develop the ability to communicate effectively when things go wrong.

@immaculate08: Those are the sign of toxicity in a relationship and should be a red flag

@vincecharlie: Before deciding to be in a relationship I think both parties should get to a level where they are absolutely open to each another, e.g Trust, being a major talking point here. However, if such conditions aren't met where one side can be free to express/befriend the opposite gender without any attractions or whatever, I don't see why such a relationship should continue. It all boils down to respect, and trust IMO. Without it the foundation for any relationship is bound to collapse.

@buzzalvin: I believe that in a relationship, everyone has equal rights, and respect should come from both side not minding the gender. That way, the sense of control will be limited...

@anglingaddicts: This is so great we've reached dour bag limit!👍

@idksamad78699: In relationship it depends on trust and "we" instead of "i, me" thing. You said it very well! More respect for you. Have fun ahead!

@doforlove: Some men think it is their duty to control their partners and will always expect them to follow whatever they say without having the right to their own opinion. Those kinds of relationships often results in domestic violence and abuse, and results in break up later on.

@hive-elite: Dictatorship in relationship is meant to be based on understanding, but in some cases when capacity and responsibility issues are rising it becomes important for the male to take charge

@wummi: Anyone who stops his partner from relating with people that are important to them should pay a close attention to his intention. This could be a clear sign you don't have good intention towards your partner, probably you'd hurt them in future and you don't want someone that will enlighten them or stops you from fulfilling your intention.

@fashtioluwa: I know of a lady of 23 year old dating a man of 34 years old.. Now the man says he doesn't want her to talk to any other guy in a relationship that's just 6month old.. Some people are dating lords and not a partner.

@chrinnox: Unfortunately, this is the case with so many relationship. Some believe it is a show of love, affection and commitment but I call that insecurity which is a 'red flag'. If you trust your partner, then you'll give them their freedom and not hover around them like a 'puppet' or should I say like a 'prison warder'.
