Id never allow anyone to control me or engage in abusive behavior. Of course. No one would knowingly dive into an abusive relationship. The problem is that they dont start out as abusive. In the beginning, Abusers are charismatic, attentive, committed, they are real life Prince Charmings. These relationships often begin as incredibly intense and passionate love affairs. \n\nAn abuser will work to make you feel so appreciated and loved, you wont even notice he is controlling you as you relinquish your life an inch at a time while becoming more and more entrenched in the relationship. Abusers hold themselves back until they gain their partners trust and love. And it works..\n\nSo warning signs do exist, but they arent easy to recognize or accept. Here are eight of the most common.\n\n1. Moving Very Fast. \n2. Unrealistic Expectations and Should\n3. Excessive Gifts and Love Bombing\n4. Hypersensitivity and Jealousy\n5. Criticism and Superiority\n6. Blamers\n7. Imposed Isolation\n8. Mean or Abusive Towards Others\n\nObserving any of these signs once doesnt mean you should run for the hills. But if youre seeing multiple warning signs or a progressive pattern develop, you should be concerned. Be wise, trust your instincts, and protect yourself. If something doesnt sound or feel right, do whats best for you and keep yourself safe.\n\nLink to the National Domestic Violence Hotline\nhttp://www.thehotline.org/ \nCall the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE).\nInternational Directory of Domestic Violence Agencies - http://www.hotpeachpages.net/\n\n\nI'm Dr. Antonio Borrello, a psychologist and dating and relationship expert and author of Dating 3.0: Finding Love in the Age of Social Media and the Smart Phone. \n\nPlease Subscribe to this channel and be the first to know when new videos have been posted. \n\nAnd Join our conversation on social media.\n\nFacebook https://www.facebook.com/aborrello2\nInstagram https://www.instagram.com/edatingdr/\nTwitter https://twitter.com/eDatingDr\n\nI'm happy to answer subscriber dating and relationship questions anonymously.
