Questions to ask yourself about your relationship

• Has your partner ever pushed, choked, hit, or thrown things at you or threatened to hurt you?

• Has your partner ever threatened to "out" you to your family, your friends, your school, or your job?

• Has your partner ever put you down or told you to "shut up" in front of other people?

• Has your partner ever gotten drunk or high and used it as an excuse for sex or to hurt you?

• Do you feel like it's easier to just go along with what your partner wants rather than make your own decisions?

• Has your partner ever started sex with you while you were sleeping without permission?

• Has your partner refused to practice safer sex when you asked him or her to?

• Has your partner ever left you someplace that wasn't safe or insisted you go somewhere unsafe?

• Have you stopped seeing your friends or family to avoid your partner's jealousy?

• Do you watch what you say to make sure your partner approves?

If you answered "yes" - even once - your partner may be abusive.
