What’s my relationship like?

If any warning signs come up, it’s important for you to know that these are only some examples of warning signs. Other things might be happening in your relationship that aren’t listed. Domestic violence is a pattern of behaviour and isn’t limited to physical abuse. It’s about power and control. If your boyfriend or girlfriend hurts you once, there is a big chance they’ll do it again – even if they say sorry and that it will never happen again. If you are worried at all about your relationship, check out the ‘What can I do?’ section of the website.
