Why after 3 years of being out of an abusive relationship you still feel emotionally numb to men?

possibly because you still haven't gotten over the fact of what happened. Or you based all men off of that one situation when all men really aren't like that. you should give another one a chance.. it's been 3 yrs. can't feel numb forever. Maybe you could use a few sessions with a counseller. lt can't hurt. Depends on how long you were involved with the abuser. You may be playing it smart and self preservation may have kicked in. I think once you heal completley your zest for men will return full swing. Maybe go to a abuse counsellor and they can tell you how to get past it. You do not want the last one still having power over you, not for another year.

If a man showed abusive signs early in the relationship but now acts mentally healthy what are the chances he is still abusive?
if he want to commit sadist acts with you such as murder, bondage, or bestiality, then he is prolly still abusive.
Can get an answer from an abuser if you ask them reason for their abusive nature?
No, because if they are still being abusive, they see the world from another perspective. If you are expecting that this will happen or that you can convince someone that they are abusive, chances are that you won't see it happen. About all you can do is to call them on their behavior, saying how it makes you feel. A good book is Patricia Evan's The Abusive Relationship.
Can you sue your spouse for being abusive?
Not if you are still married.
Why would a man go back to his emotionally abusive ex wife?
Whether an emotionally abusive ex-wife or an emotionally abusive ex-husband, it seems that some people are unable to break away from a bad relationship. They somehow believe that if they just give it one more try, this time it will be different. Usually, such people are emotionally addicted (or accustomed) to the relationship; they may claim they hated it and can't wait to start all over with someone else, yet they keep being drawn back into the same old drama over and over. It may be that the man (in this case) doesn't want to accept that his marriage is really over; or maybe he still believes somehow he'll find a way to fix the problems; or perhaps he blames himself for the failure of the marriage; or if there are children, he may feel a duty to keep the relationship alive because the kids want to see mom and dad together. People who return to bad marriages, whatever their explanation for doing so, usually need counseling in order to truly break the pattern and create a new and healthy relationship.
Why do abusive relationships exist?
It exist because the person being hurt stays in the relationship thinking the abuser will stop. Face reality this person has issues and they will not just up and change. I would advise anyone who is in an abusive relationship whether physical,emotional or verbal get out while you still can, because the abuser is not going to change magically.
Would you tell an ex boyfriend that was emotionally abusive that you knew he cheated when you were together?
I guess the real question is why are you still talking to an ex boyfriend who was emotionally abusive? You can tell him anything you want, but it won't change him. The best thing to do is to figure out why you were attracted to someone who abused you and cheated on you. A therapist or counselor can probably help you sort it out. Do it NOW...before you marry someone like him and have his children....then you will just continue the cycle.
My bf seems to not care about me I'm still emotionally attached because I still care and don't understand How can I get him to realize what he has or how to move on?
Maybe try talking to him it might seem to you that he doesn't seem to care although something could be on his mind or something. The best thing to do in any relationship is to talk to them, tell them how you feel and listen to them as well. Even in the end if he has moved on it is best to know and let the relationship end, there is no point being with someone that is unhappy being in a relationship with you.
How can you make your wife leave?
I do not mean to be abusive with you, but frankly it sounds like you are being abusive with her. Get a grip and tell her the marriage is over, and then you leave. If you don't want her with you, you have to ask yourself why you are still there.
Why a person still can love someone after being emotionally abused?

Is it considered abuse if your boyfriend keeps telling you that taking care of other things like his education or his family is more important than your relationship?
If he's been honest with you from the beginning and you still want more out of the relationship then no, he's not abusive. If he never told you before, has had a relationship with you and is now telling you this he is being mentally abusive to you and has absolutely no consideration for your feelings.Tell this guy to take a hike. It's time to move on as he's made his feelings loud and clear.AnswerNo. It's not nice, but its not abusive. Nonetheless, I personally don't like being that low on anyone's totem pole, and wouldn't hang around very long if I were so low on their priority list, no matter how much I liked them.
What does it mean when your ex texts you all the time?
It either means they still like you, or they are really emotionally attached to you even after your previous relationship with each other.
