HEALTHY CAMPUS

Always remember: YOU DO NOT DESERVE TO BE HURT OR THREATENED!

Some abusive partners display warning signs. However, this is not always the case and there may be no warning signs. Here are some possible warning signs to look for in a partner and questions to ask yourself.

Warning Signs

• Quick involvement and/or impulsivity
• Blames others for problems and feelings
• Jealous and controlling behavior
• Isolation from others
• Hypersensitivity

Questions to ask yourself

• Does my partner put me down, humiliate, or embarrass me?
• Do I often feel sad, angry or embarrassed when I am with my partner?
• Does my partner lose his or her temper easily?
• Am I sometimes afraid of my partner?
• Has my partner ever physically hurt me?
• Does my partner abuse alcohol or other drugs?
• Has my partner ever forced me into doing anything sexually?

If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, it is a warning that you could be in a potentially dangerous relationship.

It is important to have a safety plan, especially as you prepare to end the relationship. Help is available by contacting any of the resources located on the resource page.
