Abuse in relationships can manifest itself in various ways. The misconception is that only women face abuse in relationships. In recent years cases of domestic violence against men are common. Men have been living in fear of reporting abuse for fear of being ridiculed. Here are some types of abuse.
1. Physical abuse. This act is the most common form of abuse and often involves the abused person becoming the punching of their partner. It can either be slapping or a thorough beating. Men often perpetrate physical abuse, but some women also beat their men.
2. Emotional abuse. This abuse often happens before physical abuse begins. Your partner abuses you frequently, sometimes disguising it as a joke. Emotional abuse is usually verbal. He can do it in front of people or do it at home.

3. Financial abuse. Most people are unaware of this. Financial abuse happens when the primary household's main income source withholds money as a punishment. When they annoy you, they refuse to pay bills or buy food in the house.
They can also refuse to pay school fees for the kids or threaten to kick you out whenever you have a disagreement.
4. Psychological abuse. This abuse is when your partner messes up with your psychology. They always blame you for things they do wrong. They also use your insecurities to attack you and bring you down. When left, such partners can resort to stalking and threats of causing you harm..
The most crucial time for a victim of domestic abuse is when they try to leave. Most victims die when they try to escape. It is often advised not to tell your partner you are going to them.
