| Emotional abuse isn't taken seriously because it's usually women engaging in it. |

It goes both ways. Belittling, minimizing someone else is a horrible thing as a victim. Cuts to your identity. |

this is so true about marriage therapists - they are invested in saving the marriage, and they are conflicted because they actually have 2 clients and as such often cannot meet what would normally be considered their professional obligation to each individual client, instead they compromise interests, sometimes perpetuating very unhealthy relationships. Also look at loveisrespect.org |

+100 I use to sell services that required meeting both the husband and wife. Many of the wives were emotional abuse to the husband right in front of me. Call the guy stupid, saying he has a small penis, mocking him, rolling their eyes anytime he said anything, telling him to shut up, saying he was a failure because he did not make enough money, etc, etc. It was shocking. This type of behavior is always laughed off. |

You mean your post right? You are gaslighting another poster because...you think only men are emotional abusers? Wake up. What do think “mean girls” like yourself are? |

Because the terms, emotional abuse and the more recent, gaslighting are so overused by women. Do men ever suffer emotional abuse? Or gaslighting? Probably just as much as women, right? How often to you hear men claim it?
But every woman in a bad relationship claims, at very least, to have been emotionally abused. Really, it gets a bit old. There is your answer, like it or not. |

Once again, from this thread - http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/30/705807.page Haven't you heard? These days, anything a man does that a woman doesn't like gets labeled as some kind of abuse. You get angry and raise your voice? That's verbal abuse Try to ignore it and not say anything? That's emotional abuse Spend your money in a way she doesn't agree? That's financial abuse Ask her for sex more often than she wants it? That's sexual abuse Try to get physical anyway? Of course, that's physical abuse. Also sexual abuse. Likewise, don't give it to her as often as she wants. That's sexual deprivation...abuse Call her out on her crazy? That's mental abuse..oh and, Gaslighting, but that's another thread Tracking her social media because you don't trust her? That's...wait for it...I swear this is real... Technological abuse Sending her text messages, expecting a response but getting nothing? That's Cyber abuse Harassing her about an actual affair when you catch her? That's Psychological abuse Telling her you wish she would eat healthy and maybe lose a few? Fat shaming, emotional abuse Belittling her academic focus or worthless degree? That's academic abuse Not being nice to her in public if, for example, she is drunk and flirting with other men? That's Social abuse Driving too fast with her in the car? That's Environmental abuse, or maybe, Vehicular abuse if it's her car. Feel free to add to the list if you like. Remember, every interaction with a man that a woman finds unpleasant these days is surely some kind of abuse. |
