Blames you when he/she mistreats you- wants you to believe you
provoked him/her, tells you it would not have happened if you didn't
press his/her buttons, tells you you made him/her do it because of
your actions, tells you you led him/her on, tells you you deserved
it, tells you he/she can't control him/herself, tells you it's only
because she/he cares about you so much.
Pressures you for sex or sexual acts- does she/he think of women/men
as sex objects? attempt to manipulate you into sex by making you
feel guilty (if you really loved me you would etc.) force you to do
things you don't want to do or are uncomfortable with? minimize your
feelings about sex? berated you about your past sexual history?
touch you when you don't want to be touched?
None of these behaviors alone necessarily signify abuse. But if your
partner or potential partner exhibits any combination of these
behaviors you should rethink your relationship or your desire to get
into a relationship with that person. If you are worried trust your
instincts! Talk to someone, get another person's opinion. And
remember you are never responsible for how another acts or feels
especially if it is compromising your mental health and/or physical
safety!
