How to Overcome Possessiveness in Relationships

Managing possessiveness involves building trust, communicating openly, and respecting boundaries. Sharing your feelings honestly with your partner can foster understanding, while working on self-confidence helps reduce jealousy. Striving for balance allows healthy attachment without controlling behavior, leading to a more secure and loving relationship.

Any advice guys on keeping the monster at bay? Should we show our SO that side of us and tell them that we're dealing with it (show them our struggle) or just deal with it on our own? Because I think if we could do whatever we wanted, we'd lock our SO and just have them all to ourselves LOL.

How to not be possessive? Don't have any Scorp placements.. LOL

Lol lol lol I have Neptune in scorp and Merc, Venus and Saturn in the eighth house!!! I try to keep my possessiveness way under control.

I hear ya girl! Moon, Asc & Pluto in Scorp, with Sun, Venus & Jupiter in the 8th. I try to keep it under control as well.. but it's not manageable all of the time.

One of the lesson of the eight house is "letting go"!! Lol lol I'm getting pretty good at it since I hit my 30s lol

I am not good at it at all 😢

How did you get there? Just got tired of all the shit?

Eight house is death and rebirth. My sister died and my life changed. I learned that life was too short to be in a shitty relationship so from that moment on I learnt to amputate what was bad and not look back. I was 30.

Sorry about your sister. 😢

Thank you

Dealing with this myself too! My Cancer guy likes it though. Being vulnerable is so scary. But, babysteps. 🙂

I just started hanging out with a Taurus who is already showing little signs of possessiveness and it is a MAJOR turn-on for me. Just saying.

i think personally that if the Gemini has Cancer placements, or even Taurus. YUP........you LOVE that stuff.

otherwise i dont think so....

exhibit A: Look at how he clings to her, and she to him. Theyve been together too long but they will not let go!!!!

i cant get this one, Pierce Brosnan and his Libra wife. She has a sag moon, but maybe she has other placements -- I'm feeling some cancer going on.

she has a cuteness about her, even when she was slim, now older in the right photo.

😆 i'm just having fun. heehee.

a poke at air signs to be honest.

they are one of the few to stay out of the SPOTLIGHT and keep their relationship away from the public paparazzi. (which is hard to do) and they are both couples that are very very loving.

Possessive...yes even with the two Gemini Placements (Moon and Jupiter in Gemini)

Am I hovering?
No.
Am I controlling?
No.

But that 'bleep' between your legs...belongs to me...

Act accordingly!

Taurus sun and moon here and I am very possessive! When I get to the point where I'm about to cling due to possessiveness I withdraw myself from that person's life I mean still speak to them but don't indulge in what they are doing. I've recently kept a diary and I write music too. I have to constantly tell my kind that it's all in my head lay off and give space. The time passes soon enough if I don't feed into it then I'm back to "normal"

I don't know, some of us women like that. It shows that you care and want her all to yourself. To me, that's a good thing and it also gives her more security in the relationship..
