That's totally normal.
Also for your partner to write degrading messages to you in blood all over the house you're staying in together. That also sounds totally normal.
I can understand not liking her. There is a more loving and loyal path to take here as the spouse I guess. But I also don't think you necessarily owe loyalty and love to a an addicted person who can't control their behavior around you and is petulant to you all the time. Like, when he apologized to her by text for something terrible he did and she didn't immediately forgive him, his immediate response was "well I see forgiveness and understanding are off the menu." or something like that. He is such a petulant child expecting everything to be easy for him even though his behavior is appalling.
It is abuse to write degrading comments about your partner on the walls. THE END. That's abusive.
The things you name here are at least as normal as…purposely defecating on your spouse’s side of the bed. She even took care to place the poo so that he would lay on it when he put up the sheet and got in bed. To me this was detail was as shocking as anything I heard Depp has done. She’s grotesquely immature and a little crazy. He’s an alcoholic opiate addict, clearly damaged from his own abusive childhood. I don’t think it is possible to say one is worse or more abusive than the other.
I didn't actually see that part. But if she did that, yeah that's totally gross. And probably abusive, too, if that was her dynamic with him and not some weird thing wtf.
BUT I still think it's abusive to write degrading comments about your partner in blood etc. all over the walls. Everybody here seems to be saying you have to hit your partner for it to be abuse, but that's not the standard. And he seems awful. Maybe she should have left. Why didn't HE leave, btw, if she was so awful?
At the time, he credited her with getting him through his detox, and told her parents he owed it all to her and she was an angel. But now that he hates her he complains that actually she didn't give him his drugs fast enough. (He conveniently leaves out the part that she was told not to give him the drugs too early, and that she did actually summon doctors to the place to help him so they could make the call about giving him drugs early -- no, she was a demon!)
I haven't watched the whole thing so maybe I've gotten a skewed view, but I did hear a lot of his testimony yesterday (which was supposed to be positive for him) and I did not like him. I have known abusers and he has that "this is somebody else's fault not my fault -- it's your fault for making me angry!" demeanor.
