4 Warning Signs Your Date is Abusive

Michelle Knudson
It is important to recognize the signs when you are going out on dates with an abusive person. You don't want to end up married to someone that is going to abuse you. Ladies, please remember that most abusive men put on their best behavior during the date phase. Here are four warning signs your date is abusive.

Cruel to Children

Does your date have cruel punishment methods towards your children? Keep in mind the way that they act towards your children. You do not want to be with a man that dunks your children in the toilet head first when she wets her pants during potty training. You can tell how abusive someone is from the beginning depending upon how they treat your children. Don't think that he will treat his own children better than your current children. Don't fall into the trap of thinking that if you have a baby with him that he won't be abusive towards them too.

Controls You

Any date that controls you is abusive. Your date that tries to control you is one that is insecure. It's about someone feeling like that they are losing control over you. The desire to control you is abusive behavior. Control is NOT a sign of concern. Don't mistake controlling, obsessive behavior for little cute signs that he cares about you so much.

Grabs You

Any date who grabs you is abusive. A grab here and there to get your attention is just the little signs that one tries to hide from their future wife. He indirectly shows you that is an abuser, but yet he hopes that you do not notice when he grabs you that he is abusive.

Cruel to Animals

He may be cruel to animals which implies that he is abusive. A person who is cruel to animals such as dogs and cats are probably one of the most abusive in the world. Any date that abuses dogs and cats is an insensitive person that preys on the most vulnerable.

Mind Games

A abusive person will frequently play mind games with the victims. The date will deny saying things and make the other person out to be crazy. He will often deny abusive actions toward the partner whenever confronted about the abuse. Abusive people will often play an ex and another ex towards each other with mind games saying that one ex girlfriend is totally crazy.

    Very good! People especially women should always look out for abusers, or should I say abusive lovers? Ladies don't get mixed up with an abuser! Great work here!
