If your partner always directs intimacy in one particular way, especially if it feels one-sided, it’s natural to question why. While personal taste is a factor, repeated behavior like this can sometimes indicate control. A partner who seeks control may not always be overt—they might use small, consistent actions to steer the relationship in their favor.
Over time, these habits can affect how you view yourself and your relationship. Because they start subtly, you might not realize how much influence they have until you feel your own desires being overlooked. Recognizing these patterns early can help you address whether the relationship is truly balanced.
