I agree that using the word 'My' in an controlling, possessive way is very unhealthy.
It's the context you use or act on the word 'My', IMO. In this case we're talking about a relationship, so there's some element of commitment to one another, if that's your bag, which in the OP's case I'm thinking it is. Majority of relationships include trust.
If a partner said to me ''It's fine, I can flirt with whoever I want, perhaps discuss meeting them up to rekindle what we once had - you don't own me.... '', as much as I don't own them I'd be loathed to say ''That's fine, darling. As you are, I don't own you, crack on''.
