Okay, let’s talk about how I learned to chill out a bit in my relationship. I used to be pretty controlling, didn’t even realize it half the time. It wasn’t coming from a bad place, mostly just me being scared and insecure, but it was definitely messing things up.

Want to Be Less Controlling in a Relationship? (Try These Tips for a Healthier Dynamic)

Figuring Out My Issues

First thing I did was start paying attention to how I was acting. I’d catch myself trying to dictate what my partner did or who they hung out with. Noticed I’d get all anxious if things weren’t going my way. It was like a lightbulb went off—I was being “that” person, and I didn’t like it.

Learning About Healthy Relationships

Then I started reading up on what makes a good relationship tick. Found some good articles and stuff online about trust and respect and all that jazz. One thing that stuck with me was this quote: “Educate yourself on positive relationship characteristics.” It was like a wake-up call. I needed to learn what a healthy partnership actually looked like.

  • Read a bunch of articles about healthy relationships.
  • Watched some videos on communication and trust.
  • Started to understand what respect really means in a partnership.

Talking It Out

This was the hard part. I sat down with my partner and basically said, “Hey, I think I’ve been acting like a control freak, and I’m sorry.” It was awkward, but they were surprisingly cool about it. We talked a lot about what was going on in my head, and they helped me see things from their perspective. Even just talking about it helped. That quote “Talk to your partner about it. Even if you’re self-aware” was a game changer for me.

Making Changes

It wasn’t like I magically changed overnight. I really had to work on it. I started by taking deep breaths when I felt that urge to control things. Tried to give my partner space and trust them more. It was tough at first, felt like I was fighting against my own instincts.

  • Practiced taking deep breaths when I felt anxious.
  • Made a conscious effort to give my partner more space.
  • Focused on building trust instead of trying to control.

Seeing the Results

Slowly but surely, things started getting better. We fought less, and I felt a lot less stressed out. My partner seemed happier too, which was a huge relief. It was like a weight had been lifted off both of us. We even started doing more fun stuff together because there was less tension between us.

So yeah, that’s my story. It’s been a journey, but I’m glad I took the time to figure things out. I can say things are better with my partner, and I realized that being controlling can come from fear, insecurity, but with a little effort and a lot of talking, things can definitely get better.
