Signs of emotional abuse 2

3) from Stanford.edu:
* Do you feel nervous around your partner?
* Do you have to be careful to control your behavior to avoid their anger?
* Are you scared of disagreeing with your partner?
* Does your partner's jealousy stop you from seeing friends or family?
* Are they always checking up or questioning you about what you do without your partner?
* Does your partner repeatedly and wrongly accuse you of seeing or flirting with other people?
* Does your partner tell you that if you changed they wouldn't abuse you?
* Does your partner make you feel like you are wrong, stupid, crazy or inadequate?
* Does your partner prevent you from going out or doing things you want to do?
* Are you expected to do things to please your partner, rather than to please yourself?
* Do you feel that, with your partner, nothing you ever do is good enough?
* Does your partner make excuses for behavior, for example, by saying it's because of alcohol or drugs, or because they can't control their temper, or that they were "just joking"?
* Does your partner criticize you, or humiliate you in front of other people?
