When we first enter into a relationship, everything seems romantic and just. We are enamoured by our partner to such an extent that we rubbish the little warning signs as possessiveness or healthy jealousy. It is true that nobody knows for sure about how their relationship might turn out, but we all hope that it would bring some kind of stability in our lives. Little fights and anger are part of a relationship, but when this exceeds the limit, you have to accept that you are in an abusive relationship.

#1. Acknowledge the situation

The saying, ‘love is blind’ is not for nothing. What you are facing is not possessiveness or your partner's mood swing. Acceptance is the first step towards happiness. Accept that your relationship is enroute to a dark place and you need to quit immediately.

#2. Comprehend the degree of abuse

Calculate how violent your partner can get. Pay attention to his aggression. Ask yourself whether you will be able to handle the situation on your own, if you were to tell your partner about your decision. If not, do not be afraid to take someone else's help.

No matter how much you want to stop being with that person who is hurting you, doing it abruptly is a very bad idea. Start dropping hints that you want to get out of this relationship and proceed towards your goal in a calm manner.

#4. Make yourself financially independent

Most of the people continue to be in an abusive relationship because they are financially dependent on their partners. Start saving up, and look for a decent job so that you do not have to stay with your partner merely for money.
