Re: What are your relationship deal breakers?

I'm pretty sure this is a troll, but in case you really are just lucky and naive enough to not experience any of these yourself, there's a reason why a lot of people in abusive situations don't pick up on the signs. Truth is, many abusers hide their abusive tendencies until it is too late. As in, until after they're walking down the aisle, it's all still the honeymoon phase. So no, there is no real warning beforehand for the person stuck in this problem.

There's still also the mindset about how emotional abuse is A-Okay with people and that victims are just "too sensitive". Therefore you have the abuser's friends and family members telling the victim that all these destructive actions are normal, and maybe even having the victim's own friends and family members agreeing depending on how manipulative the abuser is. Even though emotional abuse can be equally as destructive as physical abuse and also can be the first signs to escalating to physical and sexual abuse as well.

It's never all cut and dry, anon. A victim finally seeing their abuser for what they are should never be shamed for not leaving sooner.
