Whether the person you are having a relationship with will turn violent is not something that is easy to find out. There are a few indications and warning signs that you should always look out for, and if you feel there is a chance you may be getting into a violent relationship then take the advice of a trusted friend or family member and work on moving away from such a relationship.
One of the most common signs of a possible violent relationship is if the partner is extremely possessive or jealous. This should not be wrongly taken for love. In a relationship trust and mutual respect are of utmost importance. Constantly calling and checking up on you, not wanting you having any close companions or trusting in anyone, going through your email or text messages and discouraging you from spending time with your family are all signs of caution of what might lead to a violent relationship.
Another sign of a violent relationship is if your partner keeps putting you down. Physical abuse is easy to spot but emotional abuse is much more complicated and tends to leave a much deeper scar. If your partner always criticizes you or talks to you in a disparaging manner, makes humiliating jokes or keeps calling you unkind names there is big chance of your relationship turning violent so either get out of the relationship or try set back and put a stop to it.
