8 Clear Signs Your Girlfriend is Toxic (4 of 5)

6. You need her permission to do anything 

Want to get a beer with your friends? Over her dead body. Looking forward to an afternoon of football on TV? Prepare for the rant about how watching sports is a complete waste of time. Want to spend Thanksgiving with your extended family? She’ll try to make you feel guilty and even demand to know what you think is wrong with her family. There is clinginess, and then there is something that takes it to a whole new level.

7. Different rules apply to you and her 

You are not allowed to have any gal pals — not even the platonic ones that you knew long before meeting her — but her guy friends remain an active part of her life. She demands to scour through your phone, but won’t let you do the same. Healthy relationships involve a willingness from both partners to compromise, but you’re the only one giving any leeway.
