[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Name calling, telling you that no one would ever want you and you should be glad he/she puts up with you, humiliating comments, telling you he'll/she'll commit suicide if you ever leave him/her, I mean the possibilities are endless. [/quote]

This.

Plus the yelling and raging. Speeding dangerously either away from you or with you in the car. Downtalking your family and friends. 
Mostly the no one will ever want you stuff.
Making you feel like you're an awful person when the rest of the world seems to think you're pretty good. 
I don't agree with 'it's in the eye of the beholder' because abuse is abuse. However they will work your weak spots (if you're self conscious of your appearance they might focus there). So the abuse can manifest differently for different people but the underlying theme is further diminishing your already low self worth so you're reliant on them and they can control you.
It helped me to quit keeping his secret and start telling people specific things and seeing the horrified looks on their faces. It's a wake up call, that's for sure. 
Also you feel like a different person apart from them and start dreading coming home.[/quote]
