An Abusive
relationship can happen at any time. It may be after few days, weeks, months or
even after a year after getting into a relationship. Most of the time, victims
felt that they are helpless or got stuck and they can’t get out of this.
But the
good thing is that there is always a way to get out of these kind of
relationships as soon as possible. Victims just know about the signs of an Abusive relationship so he/she can avoid it safely.
Eight Signs of an Abusive Relationship
- Lying
Trust is
very important in every relationship. If victim’s partner started to lie, then
he/she must be alert. Abuser may make to feel victim that he/she can’t trust
him/her. Abuser just tries to manipulate his/her victim. Whether the lie is
small or big, it should always be a red alert for the victim. As an attempt to
manipulate in a relationship is not a good sign.
- Insults
Victim
should not tolerate to being insulted by their partners. It is another way used
by abuser to manipulate his/her partner. May be it is small in beginning but it
will become bigger. By insulting abuser wants victim to questioning their
self-worth.
- Passive Aggressive Behavior
While in Abusive relationship passive-aggressive behavior is a main form of
communication. Abuser never asks his/her partner about what to do or what they
want, an abuser just make their partner to feel guilty into doing what they
want.
- Anger Problems
Someone
who can’t control his/her anger becomes more dangerous when coming into
relationship. It’s a red alert for victims, if their partners can’t control
their anger. If victim’s partner gets angry very quickly on small things at
others, then it’s a sign for victim, that his/her partner will do the same with
them.
- Aggression
It’s
another sign which should also be avoided. Abuser mostly punches on the wall or
slamming the doors. They just try to show their partners about their powers and
try to manipulate them. They try to show the damage they can do. This kind of
relationship should be avoided at any cost.
- Extreme Jealousy
Little bit
of jealousy in a relationship is not a bad sign. But if started to become
extreme then obviously it’s a red sign for victim. If abuser started to get
jealous just be seeing a friend or outing with family members, then it’s a very
dangerous thing. This type of habit cannot be ignored.
- Physical Abuse
It is the
most dangerous and harmful habit of an abuser. If your partner hits you, slaps
you or hurts you in any way, then you should leave them as soon as possible.
Even if they promise that they will never do it again. The only purpose of
abuser just gets the control over the victim.
- If You Ever Left Me, I Would Hurt Myself
The end of
any relationship is not always easy. It might be very difficult and
heartbreaking. But the end of any relationship should never drive someone
towards suicide. Victim should be very careful when abuser or their partner
said; they can’t live without you if you leave them. It may be just an attempt
to get emotional help but most probably abusers want to control their victims’
thoughts through manipulation.
