People who are being abusive often feel the following:
- Lots of irritability.
- Mistrust.
- Disappointment and frustration with your partner.
- Inadequacy. Nothing’s ever enough or done right. Your partner is never satisfied.
- Pressure and demands to do more or to be different, to give up things that are important to you.
- Disrespect and lack of consideration.
- Rules, agreements, and plans get made or changed unannounced, without warning and without being asked or consulted.
- Power struggles. Your partner wants to be in charge all of the time. Your partner wants it their way and that’s it.
- You want to leave but can’t.
- Your partner is driving you crazy, almost seems to ask for fights and even abuse.
- You end up apologizing, being sorry, making promises, feeling ashamed.
- You try to make things right but it always ends up the same.
Maybe this is all you know, either what you saw growing up around you or just what develops or happens now. Being unable to imagine a consistently satisfying intimate relationship can be discouraging. However, helping people to envision and practice - to form a different kind of relationship is what I do.
