What is the signs that your boyfriend/girlfriend will become a person who will physically and mentally abuse---harm you in the future like when you both become married?
Here are some signs to watch out for that could indicate a partner may become abusive down the line:
- Jealousy - If they try to control who you talk to or spend time with. Always accusing you of cheating without reason.
- Isolating you - If they discourage you from seeing friends/family or doing activities you like. Want to take up all your time.
- Emotional abuse - Putting you down, calling you names, shaming you to undermine your self-esteem over time.
- Controlling behavior - Telling you what to wear, not allowing opinions to differ from theirs. Demanding to know your location all the time.
- Past abuse - If they've been abusive to other partners before. Abusive tendencies don't just disappear.
- Quick anger - They have a short fuse and say hurtful things when angry they later apologize for.
- Blaming others - They refuse to take responsibility for their actions, always blame other people/things for problems.
- Breaking or damaging things - Throwing/hitting objects now can escalate to physical abuse later if anger issues aren't addressed.
If they show some of these signs, don't ignore it. Talk to them about it and if it doesn't change, you might have to reconsider the relationship before things potentially get worse. Your safety should be the priority.
