A desire for power, a need to have the upper hand, is not limited to politics or high-stakes business negotiations. In romantic relationships, it's not uncommon to witness an unhealthy balance of power, where one partner exerts a great deal of control over the other and makes all the decisions, dictates what their partner can wear and who he or she is "allowed" to be friends with. What lies behind a need for control, however, is not necessarily power-hunger. Research from PsychTests indicates that beneath the precariously restrained and self-possessed façade of a controlling partner is a desperate desire to feel valued and loved.

Analyzing data from 3,279 people who took their Relationship Attachment Style Test, PsychTests' researchers singled out a group of 165 people who displayed an extreme need to control a partner and a relationship. According to PsychTests' study, people with a strong need for control struggle with a number of issues, including the following:
DIFFICULTIES WITH EMOTIONAL INTIMACY AND TRUST
SELF-ESTEEM ISSUES
CLINGINESS / NEEDINESS
TENDENCY TO ATTRACT / BE ATTRACTED TO UNHEALTHY MATCHES, OR HAVE UNHEALTY NOTIONS OF LOVE
"Controlling love is a desperate love," explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests. "On the surface it may appear as a power trip, but on a deeper level it is linked to the controlling partner's lack of self-love and poor self-esteem. It often stems from a highly distorted view of what love really is - which could be traced back to an unhealthy child-parent relationship - and a limited ability to form healthy attachments due to underdeveloped emotional intelligence. We control out of fear. What many people don't realize, however, is that it's not about losing someone we love but rather, losing that feeling of being loved, that feeling of belonging, of value, of contentment. The problem is the fear of loss only makes controlling people more domineering, which will only push their partners further away. We cannot control another human being; we can only take ownership and responsibility for our own conduct, thinking, and personal growth."
"We all long for unconditional love. What we don't realize is that we are the primary source of unconditional love for ourselves. If you love yourself fully and unconditionally, it gives you a sense of safety and the freedom to give and receive love without a compulsive need to control others. And most importantly, unconditional love does not mean you have to put up with abusive behavior from your partner. Unconditional love doesn't mean you have to suppress your true self to avoid conflicts. Unconditional love does not mean you should allow yourself to be bullied into compliance with whatever your partner wants you to think, do, feel or wear. Unconditional love holds space for you to be the best self you can be, fully expressed, open and vulnerable, while still feeling safe. That is what love is."
