Emotional abuse may be harder to pinpoint than physical abuse, but it's still very valid. Here are the signs that you're in an unhealthy relationship.
1. He slowly isolates you from your friends
A man who truly loves you will let you have friends and isn't threatened by the time you spend with other people because he is secure in your relationship
2. He doesn't want you to have any interests or hobbies
There should be other things making you happy besides him. If he wants to be your one source of happiness, there's a problem.
3. You're crying more than you're having fun with him
Relationships should be fun. If you leave a conversation feeling worse about yourself rather than better, you're in an abusive relationship.
4. You feel like you're unable to leave this relationship
You should be in a relationship because you want to, not because you feel like you have to. And if you feel like this guy is your last chance for love, this isn't even love to begin with. You will find someone that treats you right.
5. Talking to them makes you frustrated
If you find yourself repeating the same thing that annoys you over and over, and they don't bother to fix it, they obviously don't care enough about your feelings to try to adjust.
6. They demand all of your time
If you're relieved when you have to go to class or an extracurricular because it's your only time away from your boyfriend, then this isn't a healthy relationship. It's also a bit concerning because they should have things going on in their lives as well, and shouldn't rely on you to entertain them 24/7.
7. They show no remorse about hurting you
That's toxic behavior.
8. He cheats on you
This is an obvious sign that he doesn't care about your relationship.
