7. And in terms of emotional and verbal abuse

I like the article for validating that calling us over sensitive if we complain about unkind treatment, is, meant to discredit our perception.

It's classic abusive (emotional abuse) behavior. You might be better able to see it because you LIVED it with a man who used it to knock you down.

See - in general - there are men - who believe WE are an EXTENSION of them. We exist in a certain role in THEIR mind and if we break from the script we are:
Shrill
Overly Emotional
Mistaken
Not to be trusted
etc. etc.

The did it on that thread. And one tried to do it to me here.

Sorry buster! But I'm not falling for your psy-ops. Not only did my own FATHER not speak to me 'that way' but neither does my fiance. And he IS everything you 'think of' when you think Italian born man from Calabria living in the U.S. for ten years. Ironically - my old fashioned old world sweetheart also comes from a region/culture that says "When the woman speaks, the man listens, he holds her heart."
