My husbansd cannot deal with anger. He flips out at small issues...the fridge being disorganized, hamburgers falling apart on the grill forgetting toll money. These little incidents can bring on insults and his absolute disgust of me ( or so it would appera at the way he describes me). He calls me lethargic, he criticizes how I dress, my weight, how I cook, how I keep my car, how I clean, ehat I do with my time, how I act socially and how many friends I have.

He does this infront or our 3 year old son. He recently threw a table and broke it. He gets up in my face and yells.

I hate it but is it abuse?

At the bottom of the main page for this board, cl-blueliner has a couple of lists of abusive traits, and based upon what you've written, I think you already know the answer.


However, if you need verification; yes, he's abusive, and now the ball is in your court.

Hi barnacle, and welcome -


Sadly, if you're asking, you probably already know the answer.
