Hi everyone
My partner of many years criticises most things I do from work to simple chores around the house. When he does this he makes sarcastic comments on nosying how stupid I am. He does this several times a day and it affects my confidence. Am I overreacting? He says I’m too sensitive. Thanks.

No you’re not over reacting. Abusers will do whatever they can to destroy your confidence. It makes you much easier to control. They often hide their abuse behind ‘its a joke’ or ‘you’re too sensitive’. Try reading Living with the Dominator and look up the Freedom Programme. It will educate you on abusive behaviour. Abuse is insidious. It creeps up on us little by little sending us spinning. Once your self esteem and confidence are destroyed you’re much more likely not to leave and these men know it. Try contacting your local women’s aid or use the chatline on here. It’s not you, it’s him. He’s supposed to be supportive and encouraging but he prefers sarcasm and hurtful comments. He won’t change and abuse always gets worse x read some other posts and you will recognise his abuse I’m sure x
