Ever felt like you're the only one putting effort into your relationship? In this episode, Cynthia Bailey-Rug dives into a subtle yet powerful sign of control: the unwillingness to work on the relationship. At first, everything might seem perfect, but over time, you might notice your partner avoids addressing problems and starts fights whenever issues are mentioned. This behaviour isn't just frustrating; it's a red flag for control.
Cynthia explains how such partners deny wrongdoing, make excuses, and minimise the harm they've caused, leaving you feeling powerless and voiceless. These actions can severely impact your emotional well-being and self-esteem.

She emphasises that having needs is normal and healthy – you deserve to be heard and supported.
