Why can girls hit boys but boys cant hit girls back?

It is due to outdated views on what is proper. In all reality, some females can be as abusive as some men. In ways it is worse because of societies views. If the guy shows that he is hurt, he is looked at as a wimp for getting "beat up" by a girl. If he defends himself, he is the guy that hits a girl. His alternative it just to be quiet and take it. It can be a no win situation. In more recent times, the problem is starting to be recognized, and better education is starting to come about. It is not right for a guy to hit a girl.

How can you know if your boyfriend is mean or if you are just too sensitive?

Here are the signs of mental abuse: Ordering you around, Not letting you think for yourself, Calling you names, Taking your self esteem away, Putting you down in front of your friends, Constantly yelling at you, You can't do anything right for him, Making you feel as if you aren't worthy of any proper affection from men, Making you fear him, Constantly treading on eggshells for fear you will upset him, Pushing and shoving (also physical abuse), Not sharing your interests and talking about himself constantly, Seeing you when he feels like it and not making a proper date and caring about your personal time.

How do you get your boyfriend to show you affection?

My ex-boyfriend told me he had been through alot. He never showed his emotions or showed me affection. So i asked what he had been through and i told him he could tell me anything and that i was there for him. He opened up to me and told me what he had been through and it broke my heart, i never knew. And i am so glad that he told me. All you need to do is get him to open up to you. Tell him you are there for him. Tell him how much he means to you, and that you want to know. Tell him that he can cry on your shoulder and that you will support him now no matter how bad his past is. And if you are ready (or you haven't already done it) tell him you love him.

How do you love again after an abusive relationship?

It depends on the circumstances. If you were the abuser or the victim you need to think about your future very clearly. If you were abused often but not daily by someone who would not seek help you need to consider if your relationship should be terminated completely if they are still unwilling. If you are an abuser you need to pinpoint when and why you started such behavior and most likely involve yourself in some sort of therapy. If radically abusive or abused you need to seek intense therapy. If you stood around and took terrible abuse for a long period of time you probably are in need of therapy as badly as the abuser.

Just decide if you need to seek therapy or simply continue your life. You'll find happiness in being single if you were abused for a long period of time, and if you run into a new abusive partner or get together with the same partner and he stays abusive then you need to cancel that relationship and remind yourself it is not your fault. Good luck, I know that emotional and physical abuse can be taxing and dealing with it is difficult.

Why do women who've been in abusive relationships themselves choose to be friends with abusive men?

This sounds like sour grapes about people who have been caught in abusive relationships--like it is their choice. Of course, no one specifically seeks out someone who is abusive.

Actually, so many of the abusive mates are very charming and attractive (make you laugh, have fun, offer nice courtesies) in the beginning, which is so appealing. They just can't keep the facade when things get real, and there is commitment by the other person, so there is less incentive to mind their manners. Looking back, I can see several "what was That?" instances in my relationship.

And that is the issue--we all go back to familiar behaviors unless we have had time out to have the insight to see ourselves as we are and to view our choices with more logic than emotion. A veteran of an abusive relationship needs to take things slow, observe the red flags (ie. did the person's ex leave them suddenly and without explanation? Are they quick to anger? Do they blame you for things you have no control over? etc.), and spend time with the other person in several different circumstances. If you can delay having sex with the new person and mixing those endorphins into the decision making, you will be better off.

A good resource is the book by Patricia Evans--The Verbally Abusive Relationship.

How do you tell your husband he's abusive?

For over a year and 1/2 I told mine that he was killing my feelings for him. It did not affect him AT ALL. In fact, the abuse escalated.

You can "TRY" to tell them but ultimately it doesn't matter to them. He doesn't see you as a person with real emotions or feelings or needs.

Just like the eve, when I would let my ex boyfriend know that I was starting to have second thoughts or needed a break from the relationship...the abuse become worse to a point of violence from him and his family.

Confronting an abuser does no good, because they think they are not at fault.

God Bless

Abusers treat other people - especially their nearest and dearest - as objects, mere instruments of gratification. They are therefore shocked and indignantly enraged when they are criticized for their conduct.
