tennisstar88 agony aunt1). Physical, verbal, and emotional/mental abuse. When he calls you names, constantly criticizing your overall appearance, points out your faults making you feel like you're not good enough, or that you're a failure. Where he makes you feel bad about yourself..that you no longer see the positive but the negative in you. I would say that verbal and mental/emotional abuse go hand in hand.

2.)

-It's only been a few months in the relationship and you have already caught him in a lie.

-You've been seeing each other for a week and he's already asking about hoping into the sack.

-It's been 5 months and you're still in the talking/dating phase.

-He has a lot of "girl friends" who text him all day long even till wee hours of the morning.

- He's 22 and still smoking pot..(I have a zero tolerance policy for drugs)

-He has 3 children by 3 different women.

-Now unless the economy has hit him hard or he has to take care of his parents because they are unable to take care of themselves, but 30 and still living at home.

There's a lot more, but I would say those are the most common..I may have added a few of my own.

3.)

-He has no job and little motivation to get one.

-You're paying for the rent, and all other living expenses when he doesn't contribute a dime.

-If he does have a job, but all he has is $100 left after paying for child support in which the state had to go after him for it. Otherwise he would never cough it up.

-He's a deadbeat dad.

-He has sex with you at his convenience gets off first and is done, without making sure you get off first.

Just curious as to why you inquire?

anything that your partner says that makes you feel even slightly worthless, you don't need anybody in your life who makes you feel less than you are, a partner is supposed to build you up not bring you down, red flags, if they ignore you, pick fights with you, raise their voice, talk down to you,make you look stupid infront of their friends, if you have plans and you dont hear from them,lying,treating you like an atm, you know theres so much, if you even have to post this on this website, they have got to go, get out now, you'll be better off in the long run, you cant stay with somebody just because sometimes your happy with them, if your not happy go, your damaging yourself by staying, its better to take control and make the decision to end it then have them walk all over you just to break your heart, good luck my dear :)
