2. They throw tantrums
An abusive partner expects you to tend to their every need and request and get mad when you don’t cater to them 24/7.
They pout and sulk and throw fits, letting you know you’ll somehow get “reprimanded” for not paying them the attention they deserve. They throw tantrums if you don’t do what they expect from you and threaten you to do what they want.
“They hear the opposing idea from their partner as a personal attack. Feeling victimized, they react with anger and intimidation. Emotionally abusive partners believe their partner is actually the emotionally abusive one,” said Lisa Ferentz, a licensed clinical social worker and educator specializing in trauma.
