Thank you very much for this
My son would do a lot of the things mentioned l ended up in a women's refuge. He now lives in another country. Emotional abuse is every bit as serious as physical abuse. Sadly there is not much help for me here in the UK. Despite the fact l suffer from social anxiety many assume now he is gone l ought to be ok but I am not.l am fearful of young men especially angry/aggressive ones.
SOMEBODY HELP ME
I'm glad you named a few of the things that are emotionally abusive. I knew for quite some time that things were not right. However, I could not put my finger on them to say that they were. My wife telling me that I'm stupid, my wife telling me that I do not know what I'm talkin about, my wife being dismissive, condescending, blame shifting, withholding affection, accusatory – especially falsely, etc etc. Thank you. What is a source that I could look to find out what other bad behaviors are emotional abuse?
He had zero respect. Was angry and emotionally abusive. I brushed things under the carpet, tried to keep him happy, tried to please him, tried to meet his needs. While all the Tim I was losing myself.
My parents were emotionally abusive, then I married an emotional abuser which led to my 2 kids being E. Abusive and their spouses as well.
🤢🤢🤢🤢Had enough of these sir
😢😢😢 Im a victim of abusive relationship. 14 years. Greetings all the way from Republic of Ireland filipino. Emotional abusive Marriage 😢😢😢
Not many people talk about emotional abuse because it's hard to recognize sometimes. They may know that they don't like the environment they grew up in, but they can't describe why and they may think it is normal to feel that way.
It is also difficult to talk about emotional abuse openly. People may assume it is your fault or your sensitivity to misconstrue how the abusers treat you.
I respond in those ways to my husband's ugliness, manipulation, lashing out, obvious gaslighting and harshness. He's very narcissistic. Because I respond like that does that make me the abuser? He pushes buttons and sits back and enjoys my responses.
So if my Wife is almost yelling at me because my daughter wasn't listening to her and I end up being the one that frustrations are taken out on, it causes me the need to withdraw. She is the one that started ripping into my emotions because she was looking for blame, causing me the need to withdraw to protect myself and I'm the emotional abuser?
My boyfriend dose all of them on a regular basis😢
Always Lovley to everyone else
Thank you. The abuse is going to kill me
I need help. This had been going on in my marriage for a long time. I'm losing myself.
"Emotional abuse is the use of power and control to overpower another individual"
So what is it called when a man has to make a decision that the woman doesn't agree with and he gives her a simple choice:
A. Choose to abstain from activities that put their relationship at risk, for example going to bars and clubs or staying in contact with men who have been inside of you
Or B. Choose to engage and said behaviors but forfeit demands commitment
Would that hypothetically be emotional abuse, a man being vocal about his standards and boundaries and letting the woman know if she Strays out of said boundaries that she is effectively breaking up with him, seeing that he made his boundaries clear before giving her commitment???
Keep in mind he made it clear he doesn't commit to women who do these activities prior to giving her the commitment, and now in this hypothetical situation months down the line she's asking for permission to go to a girls nights out which more likely than not includes a bar
Would that man be abusive just because he has a boundary that is in place to protect the sanctity of the relationship???
Because if women can go around saying men are abusive because we have standards for them to retain our commitment, then I understand some of the issues in the dating market today
It would be people like you among others with this notion that a man having standards is abusive, versus the man having the same standard but conveys it in an verbally abusive way???
Is this an issue over the wording of how information is gotten across or the actual information being given is my ultimate question 🤔
Is saying "You hit the wall" 🧱 abuse? Very common here on YouTube. Not this channel, just others I've noticed.
I was told not to contradict
