Dynamic impact of overly monitoring a partner in a relationship
Being an overly monitoring partner can lead to a range of negative consequences, both emotional and behavioural, affecting trust, communication, and the relationship's overall health.
While speaking to Briefly News, relationship and sex educator Kelley Nele said what may drive someone to follow their partner during social events may be a result of "control or insecurity."
"If the partner is abusive, then following their partner to an event is one way their abusive behaviour will manifest. In other rarer cases where the behaviour is a product of insecurity alone, it may be because of past infidelity," said Kelley.
The relationship and sex educator added:
"Having a controlling partner can cause a person to feel anxious, more stressed and even isolated. The recipient of the behaviour may experience powerlessness due to the power imbalance created by the controlling partner."

Yongama<3 inquired:

"It's funny until it’s not."
