I think I may be involved in something like this but i'm really not
sure. i have been with this man for several years and i am noticing
lately more and more that i am feeling very bad about myself. i thought
that when you were in a relationship you were to be able to talk about
anything - i sometimes share things about myself with him and it's like
he files it somewhere in the back of his head to use against me in a
negative way later. it hurts because i never do that to him. he says
he loves me more than anything and that nobody is ever going to love me
like he does. he is constantly telling me about myself, my behavior,
correcting me. some people say that verbal abuse is name calling,
putting down and stuff like that. but what he does hurts and he has
always said i'm too sensitive. and even after reading about emotional
manipulation i'm still not sure what it is
This is NOT love - this is control. Someone who loves you appreciates
you as you ARE, praises you, expresses gratitude and makes you feel
worthy. You are being abused, pure and simple, and I see a lot of this.
Get out and get out NOW. People WILL love you considerably better than
this man, who doesn't love you at all - he just wants a submissive to
control. The longer you put off making your escape, the worse it will
be. Seek help from women's groups if necessary, but don't waste another
minute.
