Many individuals around the world stay in abusive relationships, not knowing how bad it looks. Abusive relationships affect you both physically and mentally. As an outsider, it is easy for your friends and family to point that out. But when you are in an abusive relationship, you are most likely to shrug it off thinking it is just a bad patch. Here are 5 signs that show you that you need to let go of that partner!

1. You don’t know who you are anymore

Your friends and family rarely know the “you” before you started dating. You spend very little time doing what you did earlier, be it shopping or chilling with friends. You just think endlessly about what has gone so wrong with your life that you feel empty and lifeless on the inside.

2. Commitments are thrust upon you!

If your boyfriend wants you to show signs of commitment really soon, then just walk out. You should be able to decide things for your own. If he thinks that you don’t love him enough just because you are not ready to take the next step yet, then it clearly means he’s not the one for you.

3. He’s Aggressive and Possessive

Ladies, by all means, it is NOT okay for a man to be aggressive towards you even if he always apologizes or cries like a baby after that. Showing his possessiveness and his anger by aggression is a clear sign that you deserve a better person.
