1. Sharing sexually explicit images of you either online or not
New laws surrounding revenge porn make it illegal for someone to share intimate photographs of you with anyone, whether that is on or offline. It is illegal for someone to share intimate photographs of you with anyone else.

2. Restricting your access to money
Even if they are the breadwinner, the law says one partner cannot stop the other from accessing money and should not give them punitive allowances.

3. Repeatedly putting you down
Constant insults from a partner might not be typically thought of as domestic abuse, but under the new law, persistent name-calling, mocking and other forms of insulting behaviour are now illegal.

4. Stopping you from seeing family or friends
If your partner isolates you from the people you love whether monitoring or blocking your calls or emails, telling you where you can or cannot go, or preventing you from seeing friends or relatives it is against the law.

5. Scaring you
Your partner might not physically assault you, but if they are doing enough to frighten you, they are committing an offence. This can include making angry gestures, breaking things, punching walls and much more.

6. Threatening to reveal private things about you
Whether your partner is saying they will tell people details about your health or sexual orientation, repeated threats to reveal personal and private information is a form of abuse.

7. Putting tracking devices on your phone
The Crown Prosecution Service says it is illegal under the new legislation to monitor a person using online communication tools or spyware.

8. Being extremely jealous
If your partner persistently accuses you of cheating just for looking at someone this could be grounds for prosecution. Extreme jealousy, including possessiveness and ridiculous accusations of cheating comes under the new law.

9. Forcing you to obey their rules
A relationship should be a partnership, with neither partner having control over the other. The Crown Prosecution Service says these include rules which humiliate, degrade or dehumanise the victim'.

10. Controlling what you wear
Your partner taking control over any part of your life is highlighted in the new law, including restricting who you see and where you go. Controlling what you wear or how you look could also now be grounds for prosecution.

11. Making you do things you don't want to
Your partner forcing you to commit crimes, neglecting or abusing your children, or forcing you to have sex when you do not want to, look at pornographic material, or have sex with others all counts as abuse
