"I feel like her past fears and issues are causing her to be the abuser in this relationship as an effort to ensure she is not abused!."

Your thoughts might be correct but that does not give her the green light to treat you the way she is treating you!. Relationships and love are all about trust and respect, two elements which are certainly not forthcoming on her part!.

She is indeed emotionally abusing you, but she is only doing it because she is being given the power to do so!. Although I absolutely wouldn't recommend that you start emotionally abusing her, I certainly think you should out your foot down and et her know that you've had enough!. Stress that it is equality, companionship and partnership that you want out of this relationship, rather than disrespect, domination and subjugation!.

If she is unable to understand this, I think you'd be better off alone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The answer: Yes, to you those things constitute emotional abuse!. There is nothing clinical about the situation because it's about how you feel, now about how she feels!. You feel abused (and you listed many reasons), therefore you are being emotionally abused!.

Have you discussed it with he!? Next time see does something, say to her, "You're scaring me" or "You're hurting me with those words!." If she's responsive to that, then maybe individual therapy or couples therapy would be worth considering!. If, on the other hand, she puts all the blame on you, then maybe you should see a therapist to figure out whether the relationship will work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It really is emotional abuse, but I don't think she is doing this on purpose!. Her past has scarred he for today!. Hopefully, you can help to get her professional help, because she isn't going to get any better without it!. You will have to go with her!. If you want to save your marriage, then please seek professional help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

her situation is understandable for her attitude toward you, there's really no way to solve this!. other than time of course, just show you care!. there's still hope!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
