Constant put-downs.

Hypercriticism.

Refusing to communicate.

Ignoring or excluding you.

Extramarital affairs.

Provocative behavior with opposite sex.

Use of sarcasm and unpleasant tone of voice.

Unreasonable jealousy.

Extreme moodiness.

Mean jokes or constantly making fun of you.

Saying “I love you but…”

Saying things like “If you don’t _____, I will_____.”

Domination and control.

Withdrawal of affection.

Guilt trips.

Making everything your fault.

Isolating you from friends and family.

Using money to control.

Not really, stopping marriage will stop abuse. Most abuse - a greater amount of - takes place in non-marital domestic relationships. Marriage remains the saferst form of relationship for women and children - and by extrapolation men.

The truth is that a lot of these things would have been manifesting gradually BEFORE the marriage
It is rare that someone just wakes up one morning after marriage and starts to do all this

anyone who has any of these traits should either not get married or be ready to change and be determined to treat his/her partner the way he/she will like to be treated.

For those saying not getting married is the solution, in all sincerity, can you take any of these from anyone?

The solution is simple.................if you can't take it, do not give it. If you're abusive yourself, you don't have the right to complain about abusive partner.
Do unto your spouse what you want him to do unto you.

And if you're not abusive, but so unlucky to get married to one(which is rare anyway), then, you have the right to find your way out to regain your sanity and your self esteem.may God help us all.

Thanks for that. There's always that warning sign before getting wedded. Mutual respect for each other helps alot.

Lool Op, then we are all abusers. Though I agree with some points, I think some are just sometimes reactions to an unpleasant situation. Take myself for e.g, when he hurts me, my initial reaction is a loaded silence. And it will persist till he realizes his mistake. That's not emotional abuse naa grin
My humble submission
