Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
far away from my ex, I'm not going to allow
him to break my heart again.
Hugs, Sue.
from what I have been reading, an emotinal affair is just as bad as a sexual affair. in many instances it is even worse,and most often they eventually turn into sexual affairs.
Know this because my husband had an emotional affair. but one month into it, when I found out, and after two years of abuse because of his depression i had had enough. I gave him the ultimatum, go to the doctor and marital counseing or out of here.
I made the appointment, but after he said he would go, again he became manipulative and told me he would not go. that same day I threw his clothes out.
it was hurtful, it still hurts, but I needed to respect myself if he was not going to respect me. I was not going to be an accomplice to his stomping on me anymore.
He is enraged because he was so gone in his head that he did not realize that I would actually go through with it. He was so used to abusing me and me trying to calm him down, telling him I loved him and that i was here to support him, that I was trying so hard to save the marriage.
mildred, good for you for being so strong.
