The problem with emotional and psychological abuse is that we don't always know it's “abuse.” No matter how many magazine articles we read or stories we hear on the subject, people in abusive relationships often don't see their own relationships as being abusive. We know it's abuse when someone puts their hands on you in anger; that's a given. Someone who loves you will not hit you or otherwise physically hurt you.
What's not always obvious to us, though, is that there are quite a few emotional things we shouldn't let our partners say or do. It's subtle and not always obvious, but it's still there. There are probably many more, but here are a few abusive things a good partner won't say or do to you. I'm using the masculine pronouns because, while I am well aware that women can be abusive too, the most common forms are from men to women.

| Abusive Things You Should Never Let Your Partner Say or do. |
1. Push You into Sex
...or anything else you're not comfortable with. Someone who loves you won't pressure you to do something you don't want to do and nor get mad if you say no. Anyone who does do this is a spoiled baby at best and an abuser at worst. As for sex, I don't care if you've done it every day at Times Square and twice on Sundays. You have the right to say no, and a decent guy will respect that. If he doesn't - well, there are words for that. Let this guy go and find one who will.2. Demand Your Attention 24/7
It might seem sweet that he wants you all to himself, but the “charm” wears off quickly. It's much more likely he's trying to push everyone else away so that you have no choice but to stay with him. Even the strongest couples have friends and interests outside of the relationship. If he seems threatened by that, let him go; good friends and talents are worth putting first.3. Insult You in Any Way
A lot of us like to joke around and rib on our friends. There's nothing wrong with that. What is a problem, however, is being picked on or called names that hurt your feelings. He'll probably say you're too sensitive and/or need a sense of humor, but it's not funny or even respectful to keep up a joke he knows you don't like. That's something a playground bully would do, not a loving boyfriend. Continued Here
