Hi.

All this talk of dominance and submissiveness prompted me to post this.

A list for reasons to break up: Yelling Threatening Insulting Intimidating Hitting Throwing/destroying stuff Guilting Pressuring Demanding "Foot in the door" (ex: "a little longer," "just one more")

Have a hidden emergency bag (medication, money, documents, etc.) with a pay-as-you-go phone to document evidence and contact social services.

I am sick of the jokes about women screaming and hitting men in private, or even killing them.
