In a non abusive relationship where one person worked full time, and then the other, who had done a bit of (relatively) pointless moving around of furniture, had a go at them for not ‘pulling their weight’ …the working partner would, quite rightly, be outraged and very angry.
Thats the weird thing isn’t it. You’ve been silenced and cowed by him so that you’ll put up with this. I say ‘you’ but I mean all of us who’ve been in these relationships.
Then people ask what they get out of being abusive.
Theres one part of the answer right there.
They can do and say what they want and we fontvhavevthecright to answer back of get justifiably angry.
