Anything that your boyfriend does that makes you feel bad and has you doing things that make you uncomfortable. (This does not include doing the dishes or housework for your parents!!!!!!)

 

 

Some of the behaviours that make you feel uncomforable include:

Name calling
Put downs, being humiliated in front of friends, such as flirting with your friends
Pressuring you to have unprotected sex or do other sexual acts you are uncomfortable with
Using their size or having weapons available to intimidate you
Using unsafe driving to frighten you
Actually physically hurting you through hitting, punching, choking, pushing, biting, dragging and hair-pulling
Ignoring you or sulking
Threatening to hurt you or themselves if you don't do what they want

This is usually a pattern of behaviour, not once only.
