3)One of you checks up on the other way too much – texting to see where you are and who you’re with.

4)One of you stops the other from seeing family or friends. They say stuff like, “You don’t need to see them” or “we only need each other” or “you’re friends are boring”.

8)One person often humiliates the other and makes them feel bad (eg. ”you’re stupid/embarrassing/fat /clumsy, ”no one else would want you, ”you can’t do anything right).

9)One person scares the other through threats, pushing, hitting, locking them in, smashing things or aggression –the other person feels so afraid of upsetting them that they just go along with the demands of their Boyfriend/Girlfriend.

10)Jealousy is used as an excuse to demand that the other person has to stop talking to other guys/girls, ex-partners, friends or family.

11)Sending nude or humiliating pictures around of your BF or GF without their consent.
