Cupid’s Advice:

Abusive relationships are unfortunately very common, they happen when one person wants to maintain power or control over their partner. Here are some types of abuse that you need to protect yourself from in a relationship:

1. Physical abuse: This can be any type of hitting, punching, or scratching brought on by your partner. Even if this type of abuse doesn’t leave a bruise, it’s not healthy and needs to be addressed.

3. Sexual abuse: Just because you are married to someone or have been with them for a long time, doesn’t mean you have to be forced to engage in behavior that you’re not comfortable with. This activity should be fun and you shouldn’t feel like you are being pressured into anything you don’t want to do.
