Introduction
There is an overacting in love matters. They want to do it too well, tend to give too much. But they have the feeling that people or circumstances are acting against them.
This can lead to trying to control the circumstances or the partner. It can lead to overcontrol, even tyranny. They become very bossy and irritable from the least thing that they see as resistance.
Or they are controlled too much by their partner, as if they have a husband who is a tyrant.
