1. He ignores personal boundaries.

Such a man enters someone else`s room without knocking, takes other people`s things without permission, forbids household members from closing doors, saying something like: `Why is your door closed? Do you have something to hide from me?`

He touches you without caring about your opinion on the matter. To your dissatisfaction, he responds with words: `Oh, how untouchable we are!` As a result, you are the guilty one.

2. He is cruel and rude towards animals and children.

Remember: a person`s attitude towards weak and vulnerable beings reveals his entire essence. His dislike for children and animals can manifest in statements like `Such kids need to be beaten harder so they know who`s the boss in the family!`, `I would euthanize all these mutts!` Such words should make you cautious.

3. He doesn`t care about your feelings, desires, and requests.

Don`t even try to say how painful, unpleasant, or scary it is for you. None of your words will touch him. Your pleas and tears won`t affect him. Instead, you`ll hear an indifferent: `Stop whining!`, `Don`t mess with my head!`, `Don`t stress!`.

You`ll be accused of excessive sensitivity and called hysterical or cowardly. If all your heart-to-heart conversations follow this scenario, run away from such a man.

4. He criticizes you all the time.

Such a guy or husband constantly reminds you of the folds on your stomach, wrinkles on your face, your age. And you raise children wrong (What have you taught them? They behave like monkeys!) and you`re dressed inappropriately (Why are you dressed like a prostitute?!), and you yourself behave improperly (You`d better not open your mouth at all!).

5. He isolates you from other people.

He is a very jealous person, possessive by nature, his jealousy extends even to your relatives. You constantly justify yourself for not giving him enough attention. You`re always asked questions: `Why do you need these dances? You`d better spend time with me.` He insults and criticizes all relatives, friends, and acquaintances he dislikes, forbids communication with specific people.

6. He tries to control you.

You can`t hide anything from him, he tries to know everything that happens to you, he`s interested in what, where, when, and with whom you do things. He keeps the family budget in his hands, you have to report every purchase, you even have to ask for money for toilet paper in advance.

Your boyfriend will try to persuade you to move in together quickly, formalize the relationship, quit your job, have a child, without particularly caring about your life plans.

7. He insists that he loves you.

That`s exactly why you don`t decide to leave him. He convinces you that all the humiliations, all the poisonous words, all the attempts to control and jealousy – these are signs of his special love for you. He insults you because he`s not indifferent to you, that`s how he shows his care.

He manipulates the most sacred concept – `love` and moreover truly believes that everything will be forgiven for it! He bets on caring for you and your well-being.

Have you ever encountered such men? How did they treat you?
