Your advice is good, but I find myself taking a bit of offense to your assumption about my take on abuse. I suppose I should detail in my question that when I say "abuse," I mean abuse. I have been thrown into walls, strangled, my hands slammed in a piano lid; I've been raped and coerced and forced into situations that were attempts to gain power and control over me without my consent, by my partners, which is the definition of abuse. I agree with you that "emotionally abusive" IS over-used in this world, but please take care not to assume any use of the term is over-use. Mine is not - but that is part of what leaves me so utterly torn over what to do. What he is doing is NOT abusive, and the growing up I have done has led me to understand that I deserve FAR better treatment than the abuse I have endured. I suppose I feel a bit like I'm settling...? I appreciate your time.
