Should you leave an abusive partner immediately? The expert answers




So you have to ask yourself whether your partner admits his or her problems. Does he take responsibility for it? Is he ready to seek help?

If not, it could be life-threatening to stay in the relationship.

If it’s scary, it’s violence.

If you are so afraid of your partner that you start changing your behaviour for him or her, it’s time to wake up.

It can be about decisions that seem small. You may be skipping a party that’s important to you. You don’t go out for coffee with your best friend. You’re resting and being careful not to upset your controlling partner.

The first thing you should do is talk about it.
