*This**. I'm happily married now to an AMAZINGLY kind woman, but this described my ex wife to o a degree that shot me right back there. I can still remember being screamed at in the kitchen over freaking cookies, or the time she tried to hit me and I caught her hand so she couldn't and *I* was the asshole because it "really hurt, you asshole" when I caught her to stop her from trying to hit me.

Ex boyfriend was like this. I was so brainwashed that he recorded doing things to me while I was passed out drunk and *I stayed for three months after we talked about it because he told me I ruined a "special moment for us"*

Agreed. I didn't realize it at the time but everything on this graphic was like a checkbox for what that relationship was like.

Can we PM? I don’t know if I’m in one or not. I feel all of these things, but don’t think my partner intends it. Ironically that could just be another effect it has on me. I just don’t know anymore and it’s so upsetting. I have no one to talk to
