    I tend to view telling someone what they can and can’t do as being possessive. Demanding monogamy is therefore possessive. It’s taking away agency not as bad or as possessive as saying you can’t have friends who are X. Which is probably the most commonly recognized form of such behavior, but it’s on the same continuum in my mind.
