Emotional and psychological abuse can include: Humiliating or embarrassing you Constantly putting you down Making mean jokes or regularly making fun of you Withdrawing affection Guilt trips Using money as a way to control you Constantly calling or texting you when you are not with him Isolating you from friends and family If you're dating someone who has another significant other, like a wife, husband, girlfriend, or boyfriend, you should reconsider the relationship. This is especially true if the guy promises to break up with his significant other, but does not. If he only contacts you sporadically, or relies predominately on email, text, or social media to make plans, it could be a sign he's not that into you. This is also the case if he only wants to see you when he wants something, like money, sex, or a shoulder to cry on.
