Talk privately with someone you trust about your options.
Jealousy does not justify controlling your friendships, movements or privacy. Talk privately with trusted support about options. Avoid confrontation if it could make you less safe. Do not diagnose the partner or predict what they will do.
Your next step
Talk privately with someone you trust about your options.
Words you can use
“Can we talk privately? I need help thinking through my options.”
