Could you be slipping into an abusive relationship? And breaking up by text...
Was lovely to do my regular agony slot on Sue Marchant's BBC Eastern regions show last night - though due to the football we were only talking to people in Norfolk. We covered everything from relationships to seasonal affective disorder.
This morning chatting to Angela and Spence Heart FM North West and Wales at 750 AM about breaking up by text message - the short of it? They should only happen if you only met up a couple times - otherwise be brave and do it in person - give them some dignity!
Now, I hear about abuse in relationships from so many people - physical, emotional, sexual, or a combination of those.
If only people could arm themselves with the signs to watch out for that the new person in their life may be abusive - and many of these relationships would end before the abuse starts.
Today on MSN UK I've written an article about the signs to watch out for that the new person in your life might be a potential abuser. When it goes live later I'll post a link here.
TODAY’S TIP: as with so many of life's dilemmas listen to your gut reaction - if it tells you that new person is treating you in a suspect way - then believe it!
And if they treat you in a way that you wouldn't treat them - you need to seriously pull them up firmly on their behaviour.
Or if it's more serious get out of the relationship before you are harmed.
Please look after yourself and contact the National Domestic Violence helpline 0808-2000-247.
Good luck, Pamx
