Gossiping about the person you're dating is a pretty dumb idea, but many people do it anyway. Don't take it. Now, in his or her defense, this is the least offensive of things on this list, but it's still bad, and it's still something you should say something about. Don't let it go-- tell him or her you disapprove, and it needs to stop. Dealing

If you fight occasionally, that's nothing to worry about; everybody gets into it once in awhile. If there are a few things about you that bother him (or her), though, and he or she's ALWAYS bringing them up, or he/she simply can't stop putting you down, now there is a problem. If he/she continually insults you, if he/she rarely compliments

Sexual abuse is just like physical abuse, except more damaging emotionally, and if it goes far enough you call it rape, not assault. But it doesn't matter how far it goes-- whether it's kissing, touching, oral, or sex, if he (or she) is doing it, and you don't want it, and you tell him (or her) no, he or she has to stop.

Ditch the person right away. There is no excuse for him (or her) to hit/slap/grab/shake you-- ever. If you were playing around wrestling and it happened accidentally, that's understandable. If he (or she) got too angry and lost control, that's not. There is no reason to ever be with anyone who hurts you.
