try being in there shoes and let them know that your there for them and tell them that its hard to confess but you feel better and safer
It depends on the partner. My would be yes. Even after I was physical abused I still was in denial and even made up excuses for the guys behavior and I was 9 months pregnant. I believe we don't want to except that the man/women we trusted would do such a thing. Nevertheless, I kickd him out that night, we need to Acknowledge that our first reaction is denial and their is no excuses for abuse emotionally or physically. Depends on the partner. Codependent victims are in a state of denial. The abuser denies that his conduct is abusive.
Yes, it is very common. Denial is a first line defense against trauma.

When they start denying things
You have to make a choice. Your sanity and well-being against continued contact with your family in denial.
Telling an abuser that he emotionally abused you depends on your expectations. Safety is the most important consideration, though- do not put yourself in a position of further abuse- emotional or physical- by confronting your abuser. If by telling him, you are expecting him to apologize or take responsibility for his behavior, you are very unlikely to be satisfied. Abusers are in denial, and they rarely will admit that their behavior is abusive or in any way wrong. The chances of an abusive man changing are very slim, so telling him hoping he will change is rather useless. If by telling him, you are standing up to your abuser, regaining control of your own life, and letting him know what he did to you and how it affected you, it might be worth telling him for your own recovery.
Stage of denial
well not really Ronnie is playing her and cheating on her so she is not in a relationship but she is in denial about Ron cheating. plus i watch that show every night. i love it. sam and Ronnie are on and off but not in a full on relationship
everyone tried helping me when i was in that situation. denial was my biggest thing. one day i just got fed up and found the strength to leave. she probally thinks one day it will all stop and go away. but the truth is it wont. just keep showing her that you care, and others as well and she come around. it took me 2 years and a child later to finally leave. keep talking to her and find out what is really going on.
That means he's gay and you're in denial.
