The first thing you urgently need to do is to become literate.

If you read what you have written in your question your spelling and grammar is equivalent to a 4 year old.

If you do not know what literate means I suggest you look it up in the dictionary

Answer 3

not feeling good about ur self

Answer 4

Simply put if someone makes you feel humiliated...is constantly putting you down..makes you feel you can't possibly survive without them..and keeps you from family and or friends..that is a good indication.

And in many ways emotional abuse is far more damaging then physical because there are no physical traces of the abuse. Please if you need help call a domestic abuse shelter (Yes they do handle these cases too I have gone to court w/ some of them as support) or at least a crisis cewnter who can also direct you.

Answer 5

There remains a question also as to what degree is your self concept, each of us have different sensitivity thresholds. If you look into the history of your parent's relationship then you may see in a contrast comparison of  any negativity.  

Answer 6

If your partner tells you that you can't do anything. if they pick on you in a mean way. if they ignor you. they don't want to be near you or touch you. anything that makes you feel like dirt and you can't do better.

Answer 7

Jon got it just right!  Use his answer as your guide, and find someone to talk to about this who has no emotional investment in the outcome of your findings.

I was in an emotionally abusive marriage for years.  It got worse as the years went by, and I was so caught up in it that I didn't see what was happening until someone from outside my life pointed it out to me.  That still didn't change things for me, but it helped enable me to break free later when I was ready.

Most of emotional abuse is about power play.  People see weakness in the self esteem of others and they use it against them.  Realizing your weaknesses and working on feeling and thinking better about yourself can make all the difference.

Hope this helps, and good luck.  E-mail me if you want to talk.
