Here are 12 relationship deal breakers to think about while considering whether or not your sweetie is worth your time. Abuse exists in the relationship. Respect, putting your partner first, and treating them the way you want to be treated are all aspects of a successful relationship. If your boyfriend or girlfriend shows any signs of abuse such as being physically attacked, it's time to end the relationship. Abused people cannot give true consent to anything, so don't even try asking for something serious like marriage if your girlfriend or boyfriend has been abused. The only acceptable form of abuse in a relationship is where one partner abuses the other. Physical violence against women is still very common in many countries around the world including India. Studies show that 80% of domestic violence victims were also financially dependent on their abuser. So if your boyfriend or girlfriend controls your money, try to get out from under this control by finding a job and starting your own budget. Emotional abuse can also be very damaging to a relationship. This could include name-calling, humiliating your partner, or creating a feeling of isolation. If your boyfriend or girlfriend uses these methods on you, get out now! There are plenty of other healthy relationships out there who will not abuse you mentally or emotionally. The relationship should also be based on mutual respect. If your boyfriend or girlfriend does not respect your opinions or feelings, then they aren't someone you want to be with.
