No harm has to be done physically — for a relationship to be abusive. The damage can also be done emotionally and mentally. Being in a mentally abusive relationship, can be a confusing and emotionally-unbareable point in life. At times, it’s hard for some people to realize the signs.
It’s important to understand that emotional and mental abuse can leave you blind; it can be difficult to spot the signs. We’re giving you 10 signs to notice that you are in a mentally abusive relationship.
1. AVOIDING YOUR PARTNER’S
You may find yourself dancing around your day and making every effort to avoid your partner’s mood. Things may not be in favor of your partner, therefore they take it out on you. In efforts to avoid this from happening, you do your best not to mess with their mood, because you know it’ll effect you, in the worst way.
2. BEING CALLED SELFISH
Control of the mind, is what you’ll feel when you’re in a mentally abusive relationship. When you ask for what you want (whether simple or not), you may be called selfish or seen as inconsiderate. This will in return cause you to never ask your partner for anything else, at least for some time.
3. ISOLATION FROM FRIENDS OR FAMILY
Avoiding your friends and family will become a choice you feel you have to make. This prevents them from noticing anything different in your behavior. Even if you don’t notice.
