10 Warning signs your relationship is making you depressed – Don’t ignore these red flags!

4. Your partner tries to control you. 

What to do with your time, controlling finances, friendship choices and how much you can visit your family: all these behaviors are likely to invite feelings of depression.

Remember: depression can be a disorder of power. When your partner takes away your power to make personal decisions (or at least to contribute jointly to decisions) depression can be imminent.
