In today’s digital age, video calls are a normal way to stay connected. However, if your partner constantly demands video chats, it could be more than just a desire for connection—it could be a subtle form of control.


Love vs. Control:

At the core of a healthy relationship is the balance between connection and independence. While it’s natural to want to check in with a partner, excessive video calls may signal an unhealthy dependency or control. If you’re feeling pressured to stay on video calls longer than you’re comfortable with, or if it’s causing you anxiety, it may be time to assess whether the relationship dynamic is balanced.


Red Flags to Watch For:

A controlling partner may make you feel guilty for not answering a call or for needing personal space. If you feel like your partner is trying to monitor your actions or isolate you, these are red flags that shouldn’t be ignored.


Setting Boundaries:

The best way to reclaim control in a relationship is by setting clear boundaries. It’s important to communicate your needs and be assertive about your right to personal time. Remember, a healthy relationship should encourage growth, trust, and mutual respect.

If you’re struggling with a controlling partner, seek help through therapy or consult with a family law attorney to understand your rights.
