Do you fear that you are in one? This article might help: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/10124801/Nigella-Lawson-Are-you-in-a-controlling-relationship-How-to-spot-the-signs-of-manipulation.html
Every case is different, though, so I advise that if your relationship doesn't make you happy, if you're not respected for who you are, if your self-esteem is being chipped away at, and you're increasingly worried about "displeasing" your partner, it's not healthy, and it's time to step away.
I recommend having a talk with your parents, friends, or someone else you trust.

Hi
That is a great question and sometimes spotting the signs of control can be hard.
This website is really good and has a checklist for signs to look out for:
http://thisisabuse.direct.gov.uk/worried-about-abuse
Some of the main ones include someone trying to isolate you - controlling who you can see and when. They may also control your use of social media/phones - wanting your passwords, deleting contacts etc. They can try to control what you wear and what you look like, where you go and what you do. There are also lots of more subtle behaviours that erode your self-esteem and make you think it is all your fault.
The important thing to remember is that this is not your fault and there is a lot of support out there to help you. Please do come back for a chat if you want to talk more,
take care
