It takes a certain kind of man to admit or even elude to the fact that he has been emotionally abused.
Most deflect and Crack jokes to avoid even speaking on the topic.
Internet thugs stay away from ISH that make them look/feel weak.
Like the booty play convo. Haha. Africans dang near disrespecting dudes for giving their perspective on it. And they didn't even say they liked it. Lol!
Don't make this forum the IC or the Blackboard yall. Where folks are borderline scared to share their thoughts for fear of negative backlash and ridicule.
I mean it's all fun and games till it's not.
If you want a "Donkey" thread where you can be d*cks to all whom enter, create one and let the visitors be warned but try not to be @$$es in EVERY thread.
Folks gotta have a free place for expression or they will lose interest, recluse and become lurkers.
Now..I will say this. Emotional abuse is a CHOICE whether you like it or not. If you are not a child who knows no better, you are CHOOSING to be emotionally abused by the person you are with.
Walk away...simple as that. Yes...Black and White loves. You are in control of your life.
I agree but I have to say emotional abuse is not a choice.
My dad was emotionally abusive but I didn't have a choice in the matter :/
He was my dad.
I also didn't know that he was emotionally abusive until I got older.
...once I started connecting the dots in my own life.
Emotional abuse could be something as simple as your partner regularly demeaning or disregarding your opinions, thoughts, ideas, suggestions or needs.
Partners who whithold sex as a way to manipulate and control.
Its all emotional abuse.
I dont think we should blame people for their circumstances.
We all have stayed around too long in situations that weren't beneficial or empowering.
Some of yall are in emotionally abusive situations as we speak and dont even know it.
Some of yall are emotionally abusive.
Tis is life.
But I think we have to be clear and concise here.
The dynamics of abuse are not always distinct.
