Thanks for sharing this - I feel I am in a relationship where I may well be emotionally abused - I just don't receive the love, attention and affection I need to be truely happy. I know this sounds selfish, and happiness should come from within, but if you're in a serious relationship and work or partying with the boys always comes before you and your needs - that is pretty damn hard to deal with. I've since become very clingy and needy.
not sure if this is the right forum or if it even constitutes abuse..?
