hi guys! ;D
i've just watched oprah and i found their topic really interesting. kay nakarelate man ko. hehe.

It's actually about being in an abusive dating relationship where in most cases, you continue to deny to yourself that your partner is actually abusing you emotionally and physically just because you love him.
12 signs of a controlling personality and potential abuser..
1. Jealousy
2. Blames others (including you) for his faults, him being the way he is
3. Blames circumstances for his problems (it's not me, it's how life is treating me)
4. His behaviour is unpredictable and you don't know what to expect from him at any time, in particular how he may greet you
5. He belittles you verbally, tries to take away your self-esteem and self-respect
6. He cannot control his anger and directs his anger at you regardless if his anger is due to something he feels you did or someone/something else
7. He always asks for a second chance to behave better
8. He says he'll change, that he won't do it again, after he's finished his outburst
9. His family resolves problems with violence, a history of violent behavior in his family, with brothers and sisters, against parents, his parents were argumentative and/or abusers
10. He plays on your guilt. (If you loved me, you'd...")
11. His behaviour often worsens when he uses alcohol or drugs, easily becoming uncontrollable
12. He is close-minded. His way is the only way and you'd better always do as he says.
Though my boyfriend doesn't physically abuse me, nor attempted to, I was surprised by these signs because he actually does these to me. i mean, most of the time i'm actually emotionally drain.
i believe i've definitely changed a lot now that i'm with him. it's been 13 months. i can't see how he has changed me.
one of my friend said, "we're too young to be in a steady relationship. think about it."
what should i do? please help.
