He wants to spend every moment with you, which gets confusing.

The one we love is supposed to validate our feelings, not tear them apart.

Emotional abuse isnt as in your face as it would be to get slapped or pushed.

Its a psychological game played with us that ends up breaking us down in every way possible.

Its emotional abuse if…

1.

His intensity leaves you feeling wary.

It can be that he wants to win over your family and friends immediately.

Excessive charm and a lot of lying to cover up what he is really doing.

This also involves bombarding you with phone calls and/or texts.

He is relaying to you that he wants to get serious and that you should probably be serious.

Its almost like an obsession because if you dont answer, the more frequent he texts/calls.

His overprotectiveness is actually borderline obsessive.

Its an extreme negative reaction when you interact with others.

This can be perceived as concern but its not.

He doesnt need to know your every step.

The little ways he likes things, start to become overbearing.

And wanting to like him and make him happy, youll do it more likely than not.

These random pop ups are uninvited.

This is so you start feeling bad about yourself and question things you never would have before.

The last part is key.

If you never questioned something before him, do not question it now.

He wants to spend every moment with you, which gets confusing.

Youll start hearing that he is the only one who truly loves you and cares about you.

In turn, you may start detaching from your friends and family and others.

You may start isolating yourself.

Along with making you feel guilty, he blames you for literally everything.

Somehow he has turned all of his problems into your fault.

You cant believe that.

I promise you youre not.

His unpredictable anger makes you walk on eggshells 24/7.

Flying off the handle at a 2-word comment not even related to him.

This can also involve aggressive behaviors to make you scared and afraid of staying or leaving.

Picking fights and endless threats are also common.
