Quote From: rinahatton
Anything negative in a partnership for me is verbal abusive. One of the sign of verbally abusive is you are over reacting, to sensitive, you cannot take a joke or taking control of you. for example Every one know the grass is green but the abusive tries to tell you not it is blue and you are wrong. Tried to check you the relationship you are in to see where it stands. I through familiar territory and found help with books, counselor and Dr.Phil shows. We are doing betters.
It can be normal in relationships to call each other names.
But is it acceptable? I say NO! I agree that verbal abuse .........is verbal abuse, whether it's done by the husband, wife or both.
But It doesn't mean we have to take it.
A) I do NOT put up with it (I confront it then and there)
and B) I won't stoop to that level (I know how it feels, and I won't do that to someone else)
