In this episode, we talk determining whether or not our partners actions (or actions we take on our partner) are coming from a place of genuine love, or control. 

Relationship characteristics portrayed on social media are: spending excessive time together, having the person cut ties with friends of the opposite gender, codependency (your life revolves around your partner), and more. 

Controlling traits are normalized and even put out as comedic content. Truth is, shit can be pretty funny sometimes, and we can laugh, but let's just be aware of the long term damage it can have if we replicate what's so commonly seen on social media. 

We can all capable of adopting controlling behaviors, especially in monogamous relationships. If you'd like to catch onto some of these behaviors your partner, or even you, may be having, tune into the podcast.

much love and until next week,
