1 Corinthians 15:33
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
Proverbs 18:1 ESV Whoever isolates himself seeks his own
desire; he breaks out against all sound judgment.
Genesis 3:9 ESV But the Lord God called to the
man and said to him, “Where are you?”
It’s very romantic and fun to spend lots of time together.
You just want to stay with each other
and wrap yourselves up in each other 24/7. The outside world be damned; you
don’t want to pay attention to anything or anyone else. It feels nice to have
someone to make you their sun while they evolve around you. This behavior can
quickly mutate an turn into something ugly when one partner won’t let the other
partner do anything with anyone else. If you want to hang out with your friends
at the mall, or go on vacation with your parents, the partner becomes jealous.
He/she may complain that you aren't spending enough time together even if you
think you are. The partner may convince you to quit your job, favorite
activities or hobbies so you can spend more time together. After all isn't that
what being in love is all about?
Isolation from friends and family is a controlling behavior.
If you are with your partner constantly (or you are in constant contact with
your partner) he/she can keep tabs on you. You are in essence feeding into how
the partner can control where you go, who you see and what you do. You may feel
that it’s easier to give up spending time with others in order to keep your
partner happy.
