5 Brutally Honest Signs Your Relationship Is Abusive

Are you in a relationship that makes you feel more confused, rather than happy? You might be in an abusive relationship. . Abuse isn't always physical, and sometimes the most damaging wounds are the ones we can't see.

So, it's essential to know these signs, not only for your own well-being but also to help and support loved ones who might be enduring abuse in silence.

Here’s a brutally honest sign to: you clicked on this video. Now there are two reasons for that. One, you are just really anxious about your relationship, maybe you haven’t been treated right before and you are just looking for validation to make sure this one is the one. Or you know you’re in a toxic relationship and you want someone else to tell you because you know you should leave. Well if that second one is you, here’s your sign. It’s time to leave them behind and find someone better. You can do it!

I was in an emotionally and mentally abusive relationship for ten years. This exacerbated my existing childhood traumas. I wouldn't wish that experience on my worst enemy. 😔

Ì would say a common sign is actual verbal abuse and controlling behaviour and constantly criticizing the other person, frequent anger, insults, demeaning the other person, frequently telling the other person they are incompetent or they cant do things, constant criticism, not wanting the other person to go out and do things, frequent ignoring or not listening, etc. Then refusing to acknowledge any of that.
Also a very clear sign is in the home. There will be an issue freqently around Cleanliness. The person will either be a sloth or neat freak or combination to suit. It can manifest many ways, but often often involves them bringing those around them to task (very easy way to abuse others and come up with whatever complaints they like). Basically it's a convenient way for them to be a frequent Tyrant and abuser in the home.

Spent a lot of my childhood being brought up by emotionally abusive parents.

Needless to say, it led to a lot of issues growing up and habits that thankfully with therapy and martial arts, I’ve been able to break.

There is hope people. If nobody else does believe in yourself.

Spying on someone in their own home would qualify as abusive….

My first relationship I did not realise was abusive until I got out of it. The reflections I underwent during therapy and being alone hit me hard that all those signs were true. I was blinded by what I thought was love because that was all I wanted. The most heartbreaking thing for me was I wish I knew back then how to stand up to him during the times I felt sad or terrified. I am in a much better place right now but there are days I look back at that person and wished I could help her. I hope anyone who reads this who has ever been in this similar situation, know you are not alone. There are good people out there who will listen and be willing to help.

We talk about how one can deal with narcissists, but what can one do if that one is the narcissist themselves?

Remember, abusive people are often also in need of a therapist. But this is not in your hand...

The relationship was entirely online and confined to a mere four months in early 2021, but she demonstrated all five. I thank God He got her out of my life and I pray He's changed her for the better. Terrible first relationship.

This is the relationship/situation I'm facing right now with my boss. 5 long years with them gaslighting, love bombing, manipulation, lying, going around my back, and showing favoritism. I know I will be out of this situation by the summer and I'm so ready!

My PTSD turned into a C-PTSD after 5 years with a very, very abusive partner. All of these points happened at some point during it, and i'm so glad i'm out of it now.

I watched my son being emotionally abused by his ex-wife. It was painful to watch.

[Katlovvet]

I’m actually so happy someone finally recognised emotional abuse, I left my dad a year ago but he emotionally abused me and threatened harm sometimes

[Cherrycreamsoda]

Sending all my love to anyone in this situation. Hope it gets better 🫶💔

This video is everything i needed to hear. I knew everything the girl i was dating have done all these things but i always thought she did all these things unintentionally. I also have ADHD which made me fall in love with her intensely and it is much harder to leave her. She fake promised me things like she can't leave me at all even if she wanted and now she is withholding love. I am grateful for the friends who recognised this behaviour and told me to leave her. I started my ADHD meds again and now i am planning to leave her.

Unfortunately this is definitely exactly what’s going on, been going on. I think my biggest challenge is my lack of support, I have no family and friends so I feel this is so extremely difficult and i know it’s not going to get better but there’s really no options for me.

This is like how it happened to me from my ex-gf.
But I did let her go, cause to love someone that I care about, I must let the toxic relationship go and move on to restart a new beginning.

I'm honestly lucky to have good lessons by your team, it did help me to realize.

Thank you for this.

Its only through you tube videos that I can learn what happend and why. Love bombing does not always come at the beginning. Some times its later on or depends on finances.
