Emotional abuse: 5 of his symptoms in a relationship and how to cope with it

Being in a relationship with an emotional tyrant is very dangerous, because on one terrible day violence can become physical. In addition, ongoing monitoring and influence on self-esteem does not contribute to a normal life. Any relationship in which there is fear, the need to humiliate yourself and consider yourself a nonentity - is violent in nature.
Here's how to recognize them if the warnings of loved ones do not work.

1. The partner controls you
There is nothing wrong with the question “when to wait for you at home?” But if he prohibits meeting with friends, family, restricts you to going to school, work or to the doctor - this is not normal! He also should not require passwords from your phone, mail or social networks, control literally every step and action of yours, be overly jealous, take money and dictate when you can eat or go to bed.

2. He humiliates you
In front of others - this is especially unpleasant. Calling you stupid, stupid, fat, useless - a loving person should not do that.

3. You feel threatened
Insults and ultimatums put you in a position of complete defenselessness. He can offend you, scoff at your hobbies, friends, animals. He may also threaten to tell your loved ones about your terrible behavior.

4. He transfers responsibility to you
Remember how apologized for what is not to blame? A sign of emotional violence - you come to him with a remark, and he not only does not apologize, but also turns the conversation to you and makes you guilty. Emotional abusers often tell their victims that they are too sensitive or take everything to heart.

5. You are afraid to make too much movement.
Abuse victims then call it “walking the eggshell” - be careful in every action so as not to annoy the partner. They live in fear and are afraid to say a word.

How to get help
It is best to contact a specialist who will help you act correctly. Perhaps you will have to part with your partner, and if everything has not gone very far, go through steam therapy (if, of course, you can persuade him). If it is impossible to get to the doctor, but it is also impossible to live this way, ask for support from friends and relatives.

In a relationship, partners must be equal, with the same weight of words and the ability to make decisions and take responsibility for them. If this is not the case, it is worth understanding what exactly has changed and how to fix it.
