Top 10 warning signs that your patner is abusive.

People often cling onto relationships even where there are red flags that they are being abused. Here are our top 10 signs that should head for the exit door in any relationship.

1 It is one thing for your patner to check up on you here and there during the day or whenever you are not together. It is however a different issue altogether if they keep tailing you like some stalker. If your patner constantly keeps tabs on you an your day to day routine, demanding to know your whereabouts and timing your activities, it becomes some form of abuse.

2 If your patner gets so angry to the point of assaulting you, then there is no justification for such behaviour. Physical abuse is common in most relationships and sadly most people only take action when it is already too late. Recently, a student from Midlands State university was murdered by her abusive ex boyfriend. It was alleged that the boyfriend had been abusive towards her during the course of their relationship. It was only after she had suffered for a long time that she decided to break free, but he followed her and killed her.

3 When your patner makes you feel worthless and cheap, it amounts to emotional abuse. Somepatners are skilled at manipulating their loved ones and impose an inferiority status on them.

4 If your patner forces you into having sex against your will, it amounts to abuse. No one should manipulate you into doing what you do not feel like doing.

5 Excessive jealousy also puts a strain on relationships. I you see your patner constantly hovering over your private chats and keeps checking on who you converse with, run for the exit door.

6 A patner who pressures you into a serious commitment before you are ready is definitely abusing you. You should be free to decide in your own time about long term commitments.

7 A control freak also makes the relationship rather abusive. Several people have been told who to talk to, how to dress, what to eat, how to spend their money and management of friends.

8 If your patner isolates you from the rest of the world and keeps you close to them alone, it is a cause for concern. Several people have been torn away from their families and friends but abusive patners.

9 Another sign of abuse is when the patner blamed you for their mistakes. A rather who never admits wrongdoing and rebukes you for their mishaps is a dangerous one.

10 When you see your patner exhibiting signs of cruelty towards you or the kids or even animals, alarm bells should ring.
