One user has a simple test:

Simple: Lets say your gf/bf wants you to go to football game with them because they want to do this with you and it means a lot to them.

Now, You hate football and that activity is total 5-6 hours on Saturday.

Now, if you feel that 6 hours of activity with your loved one is worth it even if you are not into said activity then you are doing fine but if the answer is a no then your relationship is in trouble

And a helpful tip from a waitress:

I'm a waitress. Usually when he orders for her, or he gets a giant meal and she eats nothing I get suspicious.

If talking about your own relationship, watch for subtle signs of control. Sometimes they're not just taking interest in what you're up to.
