Mood Swings – His or her mood switches from aggressive and abusive to apologetic and loving after the abuse has occurred. Their temper is uncontrollable. Actions dont match words- He or she breaks promises, says they love you and abuses you at the same time.

They want to partake in everything you do even finances. Verbal abuse- Your partner may like to use inappropriate words at you swears and curses every now and then. It does not matter what the reason is but if your partner uses bad language, you need to give this a serious thought. The physical touch- If your partner raises his hands and slaps you now and then, it is an issue. Don’t put up with it. It’s a physically abusive person’s way of weaning you and breaking you down. Has a History- An abusive partner has a history, they sometimes make mention of it during the good stages of the relationship. One way or another an abuser will show you signs if they don’t tell you about their abusive nature in some kind of way. Lies- If your partner is getting good at lying just to make you stay or feel some sympathy for them they are emotionally abusing you.
