Singles going steady
To avoid marrying a jerk, singles educators say you should stay out of bed on the first date and cross-examine your partner. Critics say their advice is hokum.

    Some of you may not know a lot of background on domestic violence, but since I volunteered at a shelter, I learned a lot.

    Controlling what a woman is allowed to wear is a very commone early stage of abusive husbands. It is a very reliable indicator. It's just not a thing stable guys do, and guys who do it end up controlling EVERYTHING their wife does, and beating her if the disobeys. It may sound innocuous, but it is a scary indicator of an abusive personality. It's not dangerous in and of itself, but goes hand in hand with the personailty that beats women.
