7 Signs You’re In Abusive Relationship

If you have never been a victim of emotional or physical abuse in a relationship, then you should consider yourself lucky. But even at that, abuse can still manifest itself in even the most loving relationships.
In fact, a lot of times, the love a person has for their partner can cause that individual to be blind to the abuses and mistreatment they are subjected to in the relationship.
This explains why in some cases, a partner finds it hard to quit a relationship despite being abused and counselled to walk out of the union.
In such case, the partner ends up returning to the abuser and at times, it can result in more emotional
or physical injury or even death.
According
to experts, one thing about abuse is that
sometimes it is subtle that it only takes an outsider to
identify
it. An abuser is usually good at practising
their art subtly that it gets to a point that the victim
does not even know they are being abused.
According to relationship
coaches, Stephanie Tran and
Gemma Rudy, co-founders of Relationship Rules
based in Singapore, love makes an individual trust
their partner. Unfortunately, some individuals take
advantage of the trust and use it as a tool to abuse
their partners.
A
Lagos-based psychologist and relationship coach,
Mrs Esther Onifade, said the signs of abuse were
always there from the beginning of a relationship,
except if a partner chose to close their eyes to the
pointers.
Another
relationship coach and Ibadan, Oyo State-
based pastor, Noah Adewale, advised intending
couples to stay vigilant from the onset of a
relationship and “flee” should there be any sign of
abuse.
He
said, “I particularly caution ladies because they
seem to be the ones vulnerable to abuse in
relationship. Due to the society we live in, there is a
form of pressure on single ladies to quickly hook up.
“However,
in the race to hook up, they can be
exposed to danger. There are usually signs to know if
a partner is abusive and when they are ignored, it
can spell doom for the relationship in the long run.”
The relationship experts identified the following
seven
signs to tag a relationship as abusive.
