[quote=Anonymous]If you can't tell your friends and family about it, it's abusive. That isn't 100% flawless but if you suspect abuse it'll give you a way to gauge the behavior. If you told your parent or sibling or close friend that he'd said XYZ would they be appalled and outraged? If so, you are probably not sharing and that's probably because deep down you recognize that it's not okay and other people will point that out. And no, the "stop caring" method is about not having unreasonable expectations - for example, not needing your DH to love the meal you cooked (if you love it it's good enough) or to go see the movie you want to see (that's what friends are for) or to meet all of your emotional needs (we all need a network, not a one-person dumping ground). It is not a technique for living in an abusive environment. [/quote]
