Who doesn’t want their relationship with their partner to develop peacefully and not go beyond the point of minor disagreements that cannot be avoided for obvious reasons?
However, all this is achievable if we are talking about healthy relationships in which there is no place for psychological violence.

They are given away by their special phrases or jokes bordering on sarcasm, as well as periodic comparisons with someone else.
Here you need to start acting. You can do it yourself, if you have the strength and experience. Or go to a specialist.
Psychological abuse
This term refers to abuse of a partner's relationship on a mental and emotional level, in which the victim suffers psychological trauma - depression, anxiety, and other stress.
Signs
1. It can all start with manipulation and threats, comparisons and accusations, as well as complaints with an unwillingness to solve the problem.
2. Don’t forget about unjustified claims, imposing guilt (feelings), as well as high demands on the partner.
3. When trying to resolve the issue, it is not possible to establish a constructive dialogue; the problem is ignored, hushed up, or simply avoided.
4. There is control (total), disrespect for personal boundaries and a habit of resolving all issues through conflict.
5. The attention to the partner is either deliberately exaggerated or absent altogether. The partner may discuss the details of the problematic relationship with third parties, even if they are specialists, devaluing the partner's opinion.
But the main thing is the unwillingness to break off problematic relationships, even when realizing that it is bad for everyone.
