Domestic Abuse
Domestic violence doesn't just affect women, it can affect men too, and the violence usually gets worse over time. There are other non-physical forms of abuse too, such as verbal abuse or attempts to control or bully you, which can also have damaging effects.
There are many people who remain in violent relationships because they don't acknowledge what is happening to them. It's not easy coming to terms with the fact that your partner is violent toward you, and it's not unusual for the abused partner to minimise, or even justify what is happening to them.
