2. Displaying “Affectionate” jealousy
Forbidding your partner from talking to someone you don’t like, hacking their online accounts or reading their texts are all crossing boundaries disguised as loving or protective behaviour. Jealousy can lead to some crazy behaviour if left unchecked such as following your partner or randomly showing up at their workplaces. This behaviour is toxic and displays a lack of trust. It makes the other person feel like they are with someone who is immature and impulsive. Instead of being so controlling, talk things over with your partner and tell them what is bothering you.
