How to Know If You're in an Abusive Relationship

You may be in an abusive relationship and you don't know it. Many people are in one especially women and children. Very few voice out when something is wrong with their partner. As terrible as it is, one stays in such a situation for the fear of losing support from the partner.

Abuse is in different forms. Here is how to know if you're in an abusive relationship.

o One of the signs of abuse is when you give up on what you enjoy doing in order to please your partner. Unfortunately, most women think they have to submit to a man. The moment you start doing things so that the other one doesn't get upset with you, there's a problem. You'll then get frustrated and eventually lose interest in the relationship.

o Do you find yourself lying about your partner's behavior? Does he beat you or throw things at you when he's angry and all you do is keep quiet? I did that for many years. It is hard to get help because you want people to think you've a perfect relationship and everything is fine. Just ask yourself how long you'll go on like that. When this happens, seek help immediately. The earlier you deal with the problem the better.

o I don't know about you, but I find it very unfair when you can't express your opinion to your partner. You can't sit and talk about anything. All the decisions are made by one person. I understand that certain decisions can be made by the man but even then you both have to agree.

o Jealousy and possessiveness. You should know when this is acceptable and when it is not. A jealous man will make you feel like you're in jail because your privacy will soon be invaded. Jealousy becomes a problem when you're not allowed to see your friends, relatives or go out by yourself. Take nothing lightly.
