Often it could start off with something small. A relationship that was good at the beginning, where both spouses loved each other immensely and were very happy for a long period of time, can unfortunately become an abusive relationship.

One of the strongest signals of a verbal abusive relationship is when your spouse thinks you are inferior to him/her. He/she may continuously find fault with you , and would make you feel the need to confirm with them on all matters, no matter how unimportant it may be. This would give you a feeling of inadequacy as you too would begin thinking that you are not good enough to make decisions for yourself. They may choose to frequenty disregard ideas and suggestions made by you, and may dismiss unfavorable judgments of their acts, as they think they will never falter.

Often the abuser in a verbal abusive relationship finds it important to keep up a good image of himself when in the company of others. This would mean that they treat you better in public or in the company of others than they would when it is just the two of you.

Have you ever felt that your partner is constantly trying to make you feel jealous, whether it is by comparing you to previous spouses, or by flirting with members of the opposite sex in front of you? This is another usual tactic attempted by abusers in a verbal abusive relationship. This is an attempt to make you feel the need to always be by their side, in fear that they may cheat on you, even if they would never end your relationship.
