[quote=Anonymous]You only have to read this board to know why some people don't take it seriously. To be certain, emotional abuse is a serious matter. But your fellow women who tend to overuse the "abuse" label have created a boy-who-cried-wolf syndrome. I could ask, why isn't it taken seriously when a man claims any kind of abuse from his spouse? One reason is, a man in a similar situation will rarely cry abuse. His wife may be verbally abusing him every day but it's rare that a guy will claim he is being abused. OTOH, simple arguments where a man raised his voice, or otherwise got upset are now labeled, by women, as emotional or verbal abuse far too often IMO. Then their are all the other types of abuse that were listed in another thread from, financial abuse to technological abuse and perhaps you can see how a reader here may grow a little tired of the term being overused and applied to nearly any situation.[/quote]
