What does a bunch of girls talk about?? Clothes, fragrances, men and of cos - Relationships!!

Love is a magical thing. Meeting someone new, spending every waking moment with them until one day as if by magic, it takes your breath away. You find yourself in love. Most of us have experienced the beautiful feeling of falling in love by now, but sadly when we're falling out of love, we often don't see it coming.

Warning Signs that you are facing a failing relationship....
- Your partner starts to act oddly and spends more time hanging out with friends
instead of you.
- They spend a lot of time talking about people they have recently met, but you haven't.
- You find you're drifting apart, not spending as much time together.
- You sometimes have a feeling that your partner is trying to disconnect himself from you.
- Your partner shows extreme signs of moodiness
- You have a gut feeling the size of a watermelon in your stomach like something is going
horribly wrong.

Hmmmm, does it seem like a thesis you are reading here?? Well, what's worse than a failing relationship??? Why, an abusive one of cos!!! Hehehe, well, take this Love CheckList to see if you are falling prey to abusive partners!!! (Men included!!!)

You may be in an abusive relationship if he or she:
□ Is jealous or possessive toward you. (Jealousy is the primary symptom of abusive
relationships)
□ Accuse you of being unfaithful or flirting.
□ Constantly keeps track of your time.
□ Control all finances and force you to account for what you spend? (Reasonable cooperative
budgeting are exceptions.)
□ Tries to isolate you by demanding you cut off social contacts and friendships.
□ Destroy or take your personal property or sentimental items.
□ Threaten to hurt you, your children or pets? Threaten to use a weapon.
□ Push, hit, slap, punch, kick, or bite you or your children.
□ Is violent and / or loses his or her temper quickly.
□ Pressures you sexually, demands sexual activities you are not comfortable with.
□ Abuses drugs or alcohol.
□ Claims you are responsible for his or her emotional state. (This is a core diagnostic
criterion for Codependency.)
□ Blames you when he or she mistreats you.
□ Has a history of bad relationships.
□ You frequently worry about how he or she will react to things you say or do.
□ Makes "jokes" that shame, humiliate, demean or embarrass you, weather privately or
around family and friends.
□ Your partner grew up witnessing an abusive parental relationship/was abused as a child.
□ Your partner "rages" when they feel hurt, shame, fear or loss of control.
□ Both parties in abusive relationships may develop or progress in drug or alcohol
dependence in a (dysfunctional) attempt to cope with the pain.
□ You leave and then return to your partner repeatedly, against the advice of your friends,
family and loved ones.
□ You have trouble ending the relationship, even though you know inside it's the right thing
to do.
□ Have affairs.

If your answer is Yes to 4 or more of the above, you are in a abusive relationship. These days, verbal abuses count too! As emotional hurt and it is legally binding if you ever wanna sue someone.. Its ever so difficult to live with someone who geuninely loves you and cares for you. Yes, you can get one if you are luckky, provided his/her patience does not run out. For all you know, you might be the abusive partner dishing out hurtful actions?
