It is essential for humans to have relationships as they are social animals.  Human Relationships help the emotional and mental maturation of individuals. However, abusive relationships impact the mental and physical wellbeing of the partners attached.  Generally, the cautionary signs of abusive relationships can be clearly identified, if they exist, by closely examining a relationship.

The signs of abusive relationships include, but are not limited to, physical and mental/emotional abuse, extraordinary jealousy towards the other spouse and controlling behavior.  In addition, abusive partners can be characterized by ill-temper which makes them to lose their temper by relatively less important matters. They also tend to isolate and seclude the victim from his/her friends and family by prohibiting social interactions with others. Another one of the signs of abusive relationships is that the abusive spouse will constantly humiliate and degrade the victim, often publicly, in an effort to downsize him/her. Furthermore, the more tough signs of abusive relationships include the destruction of personal property of the victim, sexual abuse where the spouse forces the other to have sex in ways that are tough, threats to hurt family members and physical assault.

However, it should be noted that signs of abusive relationships are often exhibited over the conduct of the victim as well. Ordinarily, in an abusive relationship, the victim tends to fear the spouse most of the time and evades certain issues to prevent angering the spouse. Sometimes, the victims start blaming themselves and feel like they cannot do anything right to the other spouse due to the constant verbal abuse and humiliation.  In addition, the victim may even grow a sense that he/she deserves to be mistreated and will often doubt one s saneness, thinking maybe he/she is the one who is mentally unfit.  One will also feel desperate and emotionally numb due to the years of psychological/emotional abuse.

It is quite necessary and essential to act fast if there are many signs of abusive relationship visible in one’s relationship. Leaving the relationship should be done carefully, as the abuser has the potential to severely hurt the other partner and one s safety should be the fundamental concern.  Although it is easy to heal physically, the mental health takes a long time to improve. Abuse victims tend to distrust people and many would feel unprotected living alone; counseling and therapy sessions would be useful to help these victims.

The cautionary signs of abusive relationships are self-evident in every abusive relationship. The thought is to spot them and act fast.
