hi! new guy here and wow you guys seem to have a little gender war here. [View all]

been browsing and this was an interesting and very disturbing list of "abusive" behaiviors from a pinned thread.....elsewhere.

while some are common sense (hits you, belittles you) some of this is lunacy:

http://www.cdh.org/medical-services/services-a-z/emergency/domestic-abuse/abusive-behavior-checklist.aspx

Some of my favorites:

"Withholds approval, appreciation or affection

Makes contradictory demands

Breaks dates and cancels plans without reason

Comes home at late hours refusing an explanation"

Its' like anything other that indentured servitude to your spouse is abuse now. Fuck that. Relationships are give and take.
