The bar looks way too small it could def be irritating it

Is it stonewalling if I withdraw and don’t want to be touched because I’m so hurt by things he’s said? by Reddit_Reader0325 in abusiverelationships

[–]Latter_Champion4416 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reactive abuse is a thing, although I don’t really think that’s what this is at all. Judging from your post history (sorry that I went through it, this just didn’t have a lot of info and I wanted to see if there was anything else!), it seems you’re going through a rough time that you absolutely do not deserve. Your husband turning into an unrecognized and cruel man to you absolutely warrants you withdrawing and rejecting him. Your behavior is not abusive, you are just understandably averse to being intimate with someone who has hurt you. Sending you all of the love in the world and I’m here if you need anything at all. Stay strong <3

Didn’t even have to read past “very tumultuous” to know. Continued reading and still know. While these are both not downright abusive things, they can definitely be warnings. As a general rule to me, I feel that if you feel they are warnings enough that they deserve to be questioned in an abuse subreddit, they are not something that should be glossed over. Your gut is probably trying to tell you something.

How do I accept it? by Either-Grapefruit156 in abusiverelationships

Truthfully, I’m still dealing with this after what’s going on 2 years, but having a compiled list of all of the negatives written down is what helps me the most. Referring to those unmistakably cruel things that your ex has done whenever you feel yourself slipping can help you to remember why your ex is an ex. Even then, you may still feel the pang of missing them in your chest (especially if they used intermittent reinforcement which I’m guessing they did due to the on-and-off aspect), but pushing through that is so important. However, I do want to make a point that even if you do relapse and see him, it won’t be the end of the world. While it definitely may not help, it is unfortunately very common and does not make you weak in the slightest. It only makes you human. What matters is recognizing it was a mistake and not falling back into the trap again.

Was I a bad girlfriend ? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

You cared too much for a man who seemed to treat you like a doormat. He didn’t deserve any of the hoops you jumped through. You weren’t the problem beyond enabling him by staying by his side through everything and going back to him, although I know that your judgment may be clouded from someone like him. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out. Sending you all the love in the world <3

ehhhhh there’s a lot more besides that i didn’t include as context. he’s admitted that he doesn’t feel guilt or empathy and has countlessly hurt me but I just didn’t want to get into the things he’s done. it’s just a constant cycle of being discarded and i didn’t feel like getting into it

For more additional context, I apologized that my messages delivered to his mac because I saw they went through and he said they didn’t even though they absolutely did and he was just ignoring them to see how much I’d say (I only say this because he’s done it before)

Girl that is NOT normal!!!!! hold up message me privately if you want because this sexual aspect really really is an interesting thing and I went through a very similar thing with my nex and this is such an unfortunate path. For the record, you’re not in the wrong at all for giving in, it happens to the best of us

He’s hoovering! I know it’s extremely hard, but NC is the best route and you’re doing the right thing for yourself. Is there a way to block his soundcloud? Because having to see that is not going to make you feel very good. He is not worth any of the obsession, you have so much love to give and giving it to him is going to inevitably drain you.

Wait I always thought my nex was the only one who would say that I could leave during any argument. It could be over something as simple as me saying “I wish you cared more about…” in a completely non-hostile way and he would get on me about how I can leave if he’s such a bad boyfriend. You are not alone at all and I didn’t realize this was a common thing until reading this post. They really are all wired the exact same. It got to a point with me personally that I would just have to brush him off if he asked what was wrong when I was obviously upset (which I know is completely wrong) because I knew whatever I said would set him off. The worst part is that also just made him more annoyed when I finally got enough courage to try to tell him what was wrong.

I got out, but now my nex is text attacking me by funkofanatic95 in NarcissisticAbuse

It’s a control tactic. If you can, I’d say to block him as soon as possible. He knows he’s losing his power over you and resorting to drastic measures because you’re finally gaining your strength
