Basic questions

@BelovedStrength

When is it essential to question a relationship even if it seems so ok from the outside?

I believe when to question any kind of relationship is when it starts to feel wrong or "off". When personal boundaries get disrespect. When YOU feel weird on things.

What are the biggest symptoms of an abusive or abnormal relationship?

Well it is different for everyone I guess. But the biggest signs are verbal abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, financial abuse, mental abuse. If any of these are happening then its time to step back and focus on your safety more so the relationship

Hi!

I believe is essential to question your relationship when you no longer feel happy in the relationship or some behaviour sets off your internal alarm,when you start to have that uneasy feeling

Abusive relationships are more than just relationships where physical violene occurs,Abuse can occur in different ways some of these sings are :

Verbal abuse ,Calling someone names

Controling behaviour and controling over your time,cutting you off from your family and friends is the abuser's way of cutting you off from your support system.

Forcing someone to have sex when they do not want it,even if it's your spouse,is rape.

Theats of Violence towards you,your children,friends or family members

Destruction of property,when your partner destroys your belongins

Feeling of fear around them,when you're scared to speak up or make desicions for your self ,there should be mutual love and respect for each other,you should never fear your partner in any way.

Extreme Jealousy ,when your partner gets mad if anyone else talks to you or if you want to hang with anyone but them.

Use of Force during an argument

History of past battering.
