4 signs that your partner might become abusive in the future

This is not limited to just physical abuse, as verbal and emotional abuse are both just as bad as the former.

How to know your partner will become abusive in the future

There's usually the period when the tree is nothing but a tiny green bloom which you could easily pull out with the littlest of forces.

Abusive relationships are similar to this in the sense that they sometimes grow gradually until it becomes too late to handle.

So here are the early behaviours to watch out for so you can nip the abuse in the bud, or exit the relationship when you can. [Alive, that is.]

Excessive jealousy

Jealousy is not something to actually worry about in a relationship, as it could mean your partner is just scared to lose you.

Simply because old habits die hard.
