- Does your partner’s behavior make you feel as if you are wrong?
- Do you feel obligated or coerced into having sex with your partner?
- Does your partner say that if you try to leave, he or she will kill himself or herself or you?
- Do you lie to your family, friends and doctor about your bruises, cuts and scratches?
