Are You Facing Emotional Abuse

Posted on July 16, 2008 in Marriage Problems

Emotional Abuse is a form of abuse wherein an individual tries to hurt another emotionally. Emotional abuse is worse than physical abuse. Through manipulation, threatening, screaming, constant criticism, silence and withdrawing emotionally an individual tries to hurt the other.

Constant degradation by making fun, abusing and putting the other person down brings down an individual’s self-confidence greatly.

Are you in an abusive relationship? Are you undergoing constant emotional abuse? Are you at your wits end constantly?

Here are some symptoms, which will help you identify if you are a victim of emotional abuse.

Are you afraid of your partner?

Does your partner criticize every action of yours?

If you have done something against your partner, does your partner withdraw away from you emotionally, and gives you the silent treatment?

Does your partner not like you visiting your family and friends?

Does your partner not like you working and has made you a financially dependent individual?

Does your partner face constant mood swings, is highly lovable at one time and then is very angry with you at the next moment.

He or she constantly dislikes every act of yours or is refused to be pleased with you.

Do you feel trapped in the relationship?

Does your partner belittle your emotions stating that you are overreacting to things?

Does he/she blow your faults out of proportion?

If your answer is “Yes” to most of the questions then you are suffering from emotional abuse. Your partner needs help immediately.

Consult a counselor or a good friend and confide in them. Either you walk out of the relationship or try and save your marriage.
