Hidden Violence in Relationships

2. You have almost stopped communicating with friends. You no longer have time to meet with friends as you used to because resolving issues with your partner takes up all your time. Instead of going out and having fun together, you spend the weekends in endless arguments. You begin to feel isolated – your partner demands that you only pay attention to them. You might justify their behavior and make excuses for them. Gradually, victims lose confidence in themselves and start to blame themselves for all the problems in the relationship.

3. You strive to avoid any conflicts. Instead of expressing everything that's been bothering you, you remain silent to keep the peace. You avoid conflicts in all areas of life, not just at home but also at work. You might do this out of habit or because you are too tired and don't find the strength to express your point of view freely after so many conflicts at home. You live as if you are shrinking. Defending your interests is now an insurmountable task for you; it is much easier to adapt than to worry that your disobedience will result in tension in the relationship.

4. You do not recognize your feelings and needs. Children who live with explosive and unbalanced parents learn to put them first and take care of them. As a result, an adult who grew up in such a family gets used to being a parent for their own parents, and later for their loved ones, justifying them and blaming themselves, ignoring their own needs and desires for the sake of their close ones.

5. You put yourself in danger because of your partner. This could be, for example, his aggressive driving style. You are scared and deep down you are angry, but you keep quiet to avoid provoking an outburst of uncontrolled rage from him.

6. You feel very exhausted. All day long, you feel terribly drained. It becomes increasingly difficult for you to handle simple daily tasks related to your basic needs – your head is in a fog and you're no longer sure if your needs are that important. You've stopped feeling like a competent person; you don't trust your knowledge and experience.

7. You have sex against your will. You don't want to, but you have sex just to keep the peace. Does this scenario happen more and more often? Every time you do something against your will just to avoid conflict, you give your power to others and betray yourself.

8. You forgive again and again. Recently, you have broken up several times for good – only to forgive again and promise to love each other for the rest of your lives. You forgive rude behavior, give a last chance, and believe empty promises that are never fulfilled. True love implies that both partners are equal, both equally give and take in the relationship. Of course, sometimes we may do things we don't want to for our loved ones, but when such actions become a habit, it's a bad sign. If two healthy individuals love each other, they respect each other's boundaries, share the burden of guilt when things go wrong, and try to find a way out of the situation together – without mutual insults and anger.
