The Emotionally Abusive Husband or Boyfriend: Don’t Tell Me I Abuse You!
In an emotionally abusive relationship, one of the characteristics of emotional abuse is the lack of accountability by your emotionally abusive husband or partner.
An emotionally abusive husband or emotionally abusive committed boyfriend feels that he is above the law, the law of the family. The verbally abusive husband or committed partner rules with harsh words that bully and intimidate.
He believes he is the ‘king,’ and feeling this way, he rules according. In his mind he is not accountable to anyone; according to his estimation, he is truly superior to you.
In an emotionally abusive marriage or an emotionally abusive committed relationship, the emotionally abusive partner feels that he is entitled to determine how things are done. Should anyone challenge him, he dismisses them using a variety of disrespectful means.
The verbally abusive husband or verbally abusive committed partner uses his words to impose his will and do as he pleases.
What's Your Story? Are You Suffering from Emotional Abuse in Your Relationship?
Is your partner made of Teflon? No matter what anyone tells him if he doesn’t agree with what they have to say, their words have no effect.
Does your man think that he knows the answer to everything? As a verbally abusive husband or boyfriend, does he tell you that only his opinions matter? And that what he hears from others is stupid? And if they happen to be right, their correct opinion was just a lucky guess?
Do you have the feeling that you’re being treated by your emotionally abusive partner as if you were a child? Does he act like he is both the father and the mother and that he always knows what is best for you and he insists you do everything his way?
If you have children he dismisses your opinion, preferring his own. Even though you may have more experience caring for the children, probably because child care is not ‘his thing,’ he discards your opinion in favor of his own. At any time he will interrupt what you are doing with the children and insist that you follow his directives. For example, if you put your children in coats before going outside, and he thinks they will be hot, he insists you take their coats off; or if it is bedtime, and he wants to play with the kids you need to just wait until he is done playing with them before you can put them to sleep.
No amount of explanation, protest, or presenting professional opinions can influence him sufficiently to get him to change his ways. Your emotionally abusive husband or committed partner knows best… always! What he wants from you is that you “shut up and obey.” He may not use those abusive words, but this is his goal!
If these are your experiences with your husband or committed boyfriend, then you are in an emotionally abusive marriage or committed relationship which is characterized by your husband or boyfriend having total disregard for your opinion and the opinions of others. He is arrogant, rude, and indifferent to your point of view and the viewpoint of others.
Summing this all up, your husband or committed boyfriend is ‘not accountable’ to anyone! The links below are to organizations where you can get information to help you with your emotionally abusive husband.
