<p class="MsoNormal" style="normal;"><em></em><span><span style="'Times New Roman';">Yes, guys can experience abuse just like women.<span style="yes;">  </span>Abuse in relationships is not limited to any kind of classification, whether it be race, class, educational background, or gender.<span style="yes;">  </span>Although most resources are directed towards women that are being abused by men, the same resources can be used by men to determine if they are being abused by their partner.<span style="yes;">  </span>If a guy is being abused and does not recognize it, he can always take the relationship <a href="http://www.knowtheredflags.com/flags.html">quiz located on the Know the Red Flags website</a></span><span style="'Times New Roman';">.<span style="yes;">  </span>This quiz will allow men to recognize some of the abusive behaviors he may be experiencing in his relationship.<span style="yes;">  </span>Also, he can always contact us by chat (</span><a href="http://www.loveisrespect.org/"><span style="'Times New Roman';">www.loveisrespect.org</span></a><span style="'Times New Roman';">) or phone (1-866-331-9474).<span style="yes;">  </span>Helpline advocates are trained to talk to men and can discuss the signs, factors, and behaviors that constitute abuse in relationships.<span style="yes;">  </span>Advocates give the support and resources that men need to end the abuse occurring in their relationships.<span style="yes;">  </span><span style="yes;">  </span></span></span></p>
