Can you please tell me more about stonewalling? Would you consider it emotional abuse? Does your partner do this? Thanks for answering my question!

Stonewalling in my experience is always "I can' t take truth, you don't want to lie", so the other stonewalls. I would not consider it emotional abuse in my situation. I don't have a partner.

I haven't used the term stonewalling before, guess didn't think of stuff in those terms but here is a website that gives a list of what stonewalling is. Maybe you will find it helpful.

Sweetthinker,
I'm struck by how many threads you have started to validate that you're in an abusive relationship. You are.

I don't know if you want to hear from PC that you are fine and should stay (Not true) but all of your questions are pointed in the same direction - is this abusive? You obviously know it's abusive. That is no longer the question.

The question, dear one, is what are you going to do about it?

You've received a lot of practical advice from people who have walked a mile in those terrified shoes. There are hotlines, churches, shelters and outreach programs such as through the United Way (in the U.S.) to help you. You are not alone. You don't have to go through this alone. But you do have to do soemthing to make your life better.

Questioning your current status is a good start. Please take the next step and get help to get out.

Wishing you peace and courage,
Bub
