3: You will be blamed for everything

If you are in an emotionally abusive relationship then your partner will blame you for each and everything, even for his/ her mood swings. Your partner may also criticize you for ruining his/her life. So, to get rid of that remorse, they will target you. This is so because they might be unable to deal with their responsibilities. Due to those accusations, verbal abuse, name-calling and criticisms, you will be unable to see yourself realistically. Hence, you will start agreeing with your partner and may become critical. You may also start believing that you are not good enough to be in a relationship with anyone. Furthermore, emotional abuse can invite a host of health problems like depression, anxiety to stomach ulcers, heart palpitations and insomnia. You will isolate yourself and can become socially inactive.

4: Your decisions are influenced by your partner

If you are only supposed to take decisions after consulting your parter then you may be in an emotionally abusive relationship. Are you taking your partner’s permission, for every single thing you buy or do? Then, you should get out of that trap and lead a stress-free life.
