Everyone wants a best relationship in life, whether we talk about a boyfriend-girlfriend scenario. If the foundation crumbles because of unceasing violence by either partner, life can be excruciating. Physical violence can pretty much leave the person absolutely shaken unsure about when another attack will manifest. Women from all accounts are prone to dealing with this horror. The problem is that the person inflicting the pain could be a wonderful human being outside closed doors. This kind of individual derives some form of sadistic pleasure as he as he watches his partner shiver with fear. Since his Jekyll and Hyde persona is part of the deal people notice the kind person because he is a pleasure to be around, in a public place. In private, he wrecks havoc and even gets off on this. Living with someone who exhibits these erratic traits of mood swings can seriously take a toll on a person's overall health.

There are quite a number of women and girls the world over who experience mental and psychological abuse on a daily basis. The problem is that not many can report this as there is no evidence because the domestic violence is verbal. The reasoning here is that the significant other has not inflicted any visible scars. Mental torture, another form of domestic abuse can play serious havoc with a person's state of mind and her ability to lead a normal life. Imagine going through life living with someone who does not bat an eyelid about the pain that he is inflicting on his partner! Cruel barbs and tearing the person to shreds is terrible. When the knight in shining armor changes over time, the person believes it is his right to treat his partner shabbily. This is probably because of his lack of self-esteem or what have you; but it can seriously destroy the partner's basic functioning. Retaliating may not be something that the woman/girl would like to do, in case of serious and long-term repercussions.
