Its weird, I feel i'm so good at noticing it in others and in friends and being honest and straight with them. When its your own situation and your emotions are attached things just get skewed and they are all over the place. |
I understand. And it is confusing and also very shocking once you start to investigate what's happening in your relationship.
Emotional abuse can be indirect, covert and much more subtle. The bottom line is: you're not being respected, are you? Is there respect here? When there is no respect, why would you stay? You cannot
teach respect, nor should you have to. It is a learned behavior, learned at an early age.... you cannot change a person's stripes either.
