re: Signs you're being emotionally abused

Yes, what Sue said.

It's not my place to PM people and say "Hey, I think you might be abused" because 1) it isn't really my business 2) it's presumptuous and 3) it would probably only put people on the defensive being directly confronted about it.

So I hope that people will read it and if they are being abused... hopefully they'll see it and get help before it's too late.

I hope people take it the way you want it to be taken. I am just saying that I am sure someone, because well this is BG, will assume its for them and get defensive anyway.

If they do, they do.

People own their own feelings and responses, not me.

C.

That makes no sense to me. You say that you are worried about the emotional abuse someone is getting from their spouse but yet not worried about how they will take what you have stated on the internet. Simply because its the internet??? I guess its just me but that seems contradicting. Who knows.... I'm wrong.. you seem to always be right so I will leave it at that.

It's not my place to tell anyone I think they're being abused.

C.

There was no finger-pointing, just helpful information. If I were someone in that particular situation, I would be very grateful for those resources. Nobody was directly called out. 

Please dont turn this into drama.

She posted this because reading from many posts on BG, there are women that are being absued. Its not just one woman in particular. So there will be no "shes talking about only me" kind of feelings. No one is being singled out at all.

I commend you C. for posting this.

Yeah, part of it is the number of women I see talking about how their men badger them and badger them about having sex until they give in... that's abuse though I don't think many women realize it or think of it that way.

There's no one woman that I want this to go out to, though when I think of women who have husbands or boyfriends exhibiting abusive behavior based on what they've posted on gaga, more than a few names do come to mind.

I havent really talked about it or posted it...actually I never posted it. BUT...Ive been in relationships in the past where my ex completley would be little me. Even in front of my parents and family. My dad about jumped his ass for that one. Thats when I realized what this guy was doing to me. I was a completley different person during the 4+ years that I was with him.

I wasnt the outgoing, bubbly and cheerful person that I was. And the sad thing is I didnt realize it until that day that my dad almost beat up my then bf. I grew some cajones and dumped hi sorry ass about a couple months later. LOSER.

I wish more women would do the same for themselves and their babies. Luckily I never had kids with this guy.

Yup, I'm bumping it.

C.

Quoting flirtychick84:“ Oh no... I'm definitely emotionally abusive to my poor husband. This baby better come soon so i can stop being a bitch..”

This is definitely some food for thought. Thanks for posting it, KL. Maybe it will open someone's eyes. I think answering yes tomore than a coupleof those questions is a sign that you really need to examine your relationship or look in to seeing a marriage/relationship counselor.
