Huge Signs You're With Someone Controlling

If something feels off… it probably is. In this episode, Carla Romo breaks down the subtle (and often missed) signs of controlling behavior in relationships—from early dating red flags to the ways control can show up in sex and intimacy. She explains why feeling like you're "walking on eggshells" isn't normal, and how ignoring your gut can keep you stuck in unhealthy dynamics.
