[quote=Anonymous]I won't debate whether the behavior qualifies as abusive. But I will question what we are supposed to take away from that. Seems to me that there is a threshold requirement, or volume requirement for that label to carry the weight many give it. I am certain that dozens of times in my 15 year marriage, I have made comments that would meet the definition of manipulative or meant to create shame or whatever. So has my spouse. Heat of the moment, after a really bad day, poorly delivered "joke"...etc. But I am also confident that we have an incredibly strong marriage. Am I am "emotional abuser"? I guess so. But I don't think it requires divorce. OP gave two examples over several months. We would need to know much more. [/quote]
