[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this normal? No.
Is this healthy? No. 
Is this abusive? Yes. 
Can this escalate? Yes.

[b]It's very distressing to see people justifying this[/b], or saying it's better than XYZ. Unfortunately, the only people who seem to think this either participate in it and are abusive to their partner, or have someone who does it to them. Either way, not a person you want to be. [/quote]

Very distressing? Seriously? [/quote]
NP.  Yes, distressing.  Normalizing this kind of behavior because this is what you do or know.  [/quote]

It’s not normal as in it’s normal everyday behavior.  It’s normal for people in a long term committed relationship to resolve 95% of arguments without too much conflict, but to break out into a fight once every couple of months or so.   [b]And sometimes people say mean things or call each other names when they fight.  
[/b]
That’s not emotional abuse, and it’s definitely not sexual abuse.

I have never done this. Not once. Neither has my husband, my best friend, or any other number of people I know. [/quote]
