Although they may appear to be two distinct things, being dependent on and being controlled by your partner frequently go hand in hand. A controlling partner will make you reliant on him, forcing you to adapt to his demands. If you hang out with your friends, don't do what you enjoy, or even force you to discontinue relationships he doesn't like, he will become enraged.

It's critical to realize that excessive need for someone is usually a result of fear, not love. Without you recognizing it, your self-esteem may be influenced by your relationship.

The following is a list of 6 Signs You're Addicted to Your Partner:

1. Your happiness is solely dependent on your relationship.

You might be addicted to your mate if you're only pleased when they're happy. It is critical to be yourself, not to lose your identity, to think and feel with your own head and heart; otherwise, you will always be sad since your state is dependent on your spouse, which leads to a lot of misery.

2. Your spouse is the only thing that makes you happy.

While the person with whom you're in a relationship should definitely bring you delight, they shouldn't be your exclusive source of happiness. People in codependent relationships frequently exhibit moods that are similar to their partner's. A codependent person is someone who has been affected by the actions of another person and is obsessed with gaining control over that person's actions. The last thing you want to do is put your partner under your control so that they can only do things that make you happy. You want to be with someone that makes you happy for who they are, not what they could be!

3. You never accomplish anything by yourself.

Allowing your lover to do things without you is not a good idea. You frequently find yourself making excuses because you are unable to participate in activities because your partner is unable to accompany you. You don't see your buddies very often, and when you do, it's never alone. For healthy emotional health, it's critical to keep your own identity, and being able to perform certain activities independently can help a lot.

4. You made changes based on your partner's preferences.

You used to be the life of the party, but now you have no idea what that means. Maybe you went to the salon because your partner likes their hair done. This act of conduct may not appear to be significant, but it has the potential to be toxic. For example, if you try to lose weight solely on the advice of your partner. You shouldn't be with that person if you don't like yourself the way you are.

5. Always give up when time demands

It's normal to want to meet your partner's demands, but you must also meet your own. Your relationship might become toxic and unbalanced if all you do is give and receive nothing in return.

6. You want to be the center of attention.

Even if it's your dearest friend or relative, you become angry when your spouse chats to, spends time with or assists other people. Even if you realize this behavior is hurting his or her other relationships, you want his or her undivided attention at all times. It's fine to crave attention and affirmation, but give your spouse the freedom to hang out with other people or spend time with his or her family. He will get unhappy and irritated if this does not happen.
