If you can see these or any other red flags that signal your partner is controlling you, here are several things you can do to break free from a toxic relationship:

First of all, look for professional psychological help. A psychologist can help you find out what you really feel about a situation and work out a plan to escape the painful relationship.
Ask people you trust for help. Sometimes the people who love and care about us can feel that something is wrong, but we don’t give them enough information and they can’t help us.
Take care of yourself. It can be challenging in a controlling relationship, but you need to make sure you have enough sleep, you eat well, and you have enough physical activity to stay healthy, both physically and mentally.
Take care of your safety and maintain your support network. If you’ve already lost many friends because of your controlling partner, try to strengthen the relationships with those friends and family members you still have around. The more people there are to have your back, the better.
If you are going to leave this relationship, think about different scenarios. Thoroughly think over the place you will stay, the amount of money you may need, the belongings you should take with you.
Don’t give up if your first attempt to fix a toxic relationship or leave it fails. Keep trying again and again and don’t stop fighting for your safety and mental and physical health.
