1- Emotional blackmail: Off the cuffs comments that are dropped into every day conversations. For example " I know that if you ever left me, I would kill myself" Being overly dependent and clingy to keep a partner tied to you.
2 - The Silent treatment: Going days without speaking to your partner. When you live in the same household, this is enough to make you blow their temper.
3 - Teasing: This can be innocent. But, if taken too far, it can have serious consequences.

Talk about your fears with your partner. Instead of giving him or her the silent treatment, let them know when you are unhappy about something. If your partner is suffering difficulty in a personal area that involves their body, never tease them about it.
Learn to be part of a two-person team. Your strengths and weaknesses are counter balanced by your partners strengths and weakness. That is what makes a good marriage. Two people working together with the same aim.
