]]> Emotional Abuse Marriage

The mystery of two hearts is something that is not understood by many. Only the two who love each other know why they feel the need to love that one particular person for the rest of their lives. We find it wonderful when two people decide to get married. The excitement weddings bring into people’s lives will have you believing that love and relationships are the greatest goals one can achieve in life. We observe newlyweds with awe and celebrate their unions with pomp and color. Everyone has a naïve approach towards marriage, that if you love each other it would be enough but soon newlyweds encounter challenges that love cannot kiss or wish away.

Unveiling Emotional Abuse in Marriage

When there is emotional abuse in marriage the parties involved are vulnerable hurt and confused. The reality of what happened to the beautiful relationship they had seems a far-off fantasy. Emotional abuse in marriage has two parties the abuser who inflicts the pain and the victim who receives the ill-treatment. There are always two sides to a story and understanding both sides helps create a clear picture of what an emotionally abusive marriage is and what people endure for (love’s sake).

Emotional abuse in marriage is defined as when one person exposes or subjects the other spouse to behavior that may cause physiological trauma that would cause anxiety, chronic depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. The main characteristics that are associated with such abuse of power imbalance are abusive marriages, bullying at work or school, and child abuse.

There are many ways that doctors and researchers use to classify emotional abuse and they are as follows

  1. Verbal aggression

    When one partner says something that would hurt and annoy the other spouse and does not apologize for the remarks.

  2. Dominant behavior

    When one spouse refuses the other to have contact with friends or family members and will not allow them to speak or see their loved ones.

  3. Jealous behavior

    When one spouse accuses the other of having other relations outside their marriage.

  4. Domestic abuse

    This is defined as chronic mistreatment in marriages that includes emotionally abusive behavior.

Confronting Emotional Abusers

The abuser reacts to the love they are given with suspicions and harsh words that leave their spouses emotionally damaged and their self-esteem shattered leaving them feeling helpless and unloved. According to Doctor Phil, a relationship expert an abuser is a coward and a bully as they choose to attack their spouses where they feel safe and protected with no one to question their actions. Abusers are misguided about how they go about getting what they want. Instilling fear by degrading and belittling your spouse to get your way things like respect are commanded not demanded. He also urges abusers to be proactive instead of being reactive to situations and they should take responsibility for their actions instead of finding excuses for their actions and words.

Doctor Phil also asks the victim to take responsibility for their role as they should play a role in letting the abuser know how they feel when they are treated in an abusive way. They should also let their spouses know that they will not allow them to treat them in such a way anymore. Sit down and discuss what is acceptable and what is not. This way the abuser will know what is expected from them. The doctor puts it there are no victims only volunteers this indicates that if you’re in an emotionally abusive marriage and you have never stood up for yourself and said enough then you’re partly responsible for the damage you in.

When a person is struggling with drug abuse, receipt of drugs becomes the focus of life. The importance of family, friends, and work falls into the background as a spiral of drug abusers in drug abuse. Signs of drug abuse can vary, as different drugs cause different effects on the mental and physical health of the offender, but in general, the signs of drug abuse remain the same.

Speed vs. Slow: Drug Effects

Drugs such as cocaine act as stimulants in increasing the speed of the body. Drug addicts who become addicted to drugs like cocaine will often be unable to sleep. The metabolism of the offender and the level of blood pressure may also increase. Other drugs that slow the body, such as barbiturates, reduce blood pressure and levels of mental alertness. Even breathing addicts will slow down.

Physical Symptoms of Drug Abuse

People who struggle with drug addiction will have other physical symptoms, depending on the type of drug abuse. Those who abuse stimulants may behave in a manner or hyperactive and experience dramatic weight loss. People who abuse drugs such as barbiturates, require excessive amounts of sleep or experience sudden weight gain. They may move more slowly, showing slower speech, apparently disoriented, or seem confused.

Addicts may suddenly start to change their way of vinegar. Those who inject drugs with a needle can start wearing long-sleeved shirts all the time in the hope of hidden weapons. People who snort drugs may suffer from chronic bleeding from the nose or sinus problems.

Physical and Emotional Toll of Drug Abuse

Addicts who smoke drugs may experience frequent bronchitis or chronic cough. Their cough can produce large amounts of blood and mucus. Drug abusers who abuse drugs like methamphetamine may even be faced with serious dental problems. Emotional abuse signs of drugs are as varied as physical symptoms. For example, some addicts have difficulty monitoring their mixtures; it is easy to become angry or agitated.

Another abuser always remains cheerful, talkative, and energetic. On the other hand, some addicts may seem quiet and emotionally distant, not knowing about the world around them.

Teens investigating drug abuse may appear abrupt changes in behavior. They may suddenly start with difficulties in school or how else is removed. Some teens who use drugs are either unable to sleep or feel sleepy all the time. Maybe they made new friends, began to associate with them, or developed the habit of stealing. The combination of these factors suggests that a teenager has developed a drug addiction.

Emotionally abusive men

There are a lot of people whom others would call emotionally abusive men because of their behavior. For example, a lot of wives complain to their husbands about being emotionally abusive men because of the type of behavior they portray towards them. Emotional abuse produces quite similar results to physical one. For example, one of the main reasons for physical abuse is to hurt the person in a way that they understand the superiority of the abuser or they realize their inferiority. Emotional abuse leaves the abused in an inferior state of mind where they think they have less value than they assumed. This, in turn, gives the abuser an edge over them to control them or take advantage of them.

Physical abuse also leaves the victim in trauma of repetition of the same violence again and again. That is why the victims of physical violence try to avoid what brought the abuse onto them in the first place. Emotionally abused does the same. They strictly stay away from the activities or behaviors that would make them subject to the same type of emotional torture and hurt them where it counts most, in their hearts and minds.

Male Dominance: Emotional Abuse

It is statistically researched and proven to be true that most of the male part of the population or men are responsible for the bigger portion of the total amount of emotional abuse. Statistical studies show that due to their biologically dominating nature, men emotionally abuse women a lot. A lot of couples whether they are married or not have a dominating male who tries to control everything around them including their female counterpart. This includes their behavior and some traits associated with their personality. This kind of emotional abuse forces women to believe that they are wrong in all that they do or say. While this is not the case, at some point in the continuous abuse, women stop thinking on their own and start believing whatever the men say and think of themselves as inferior. Insecurity, loss of personality constant tension, and pressure of the chance of losing the partner force a woman to comply with the situation and give up what they are.

This kind of breakdown worsens the situation as it gives the men a bit of superiority over them which in turn, makes the women dependent. Upon losing their independence, women feel more insecure and start doing everything they can to make sure that they don’t lose their men. This is where they lose their last ace. Instead of giving in, they should keep trying and prove themselves worthy enough. That way, they can get rid of the abuse of weak men and retain their independence and personality.
