This same argument every time
Does this sound like possible abuse?
Something will trigger an argument (usually he starts it) and he gets super angry. Like scary angry. He has never hit me, but he raises his voice, calls me names, does this insane pointing thing at me (like a super aggressive kind of pointing).
I will say something along the lines of “hey can you please stop calling me names and try to have a respectful conversation?”
And it’s met with literally this every time: “Oh, now I have to change how I talk to suit YOU? EVERYTHING hurts your feelings and I have to walk on eggshells when I talk to you! Where is MY respect? Don’t I get a voice? I am never allowed to speak MY mind because YOU get hurt feelings over everything!”
Dude will literally even mock me if I cry. And then go as far as to say that now I am hurting HIM even tho he is the one screaming at me?? And during all that I don’t call him names or even barely get a word in. I have timed it before, he can go on and on berating me for literally 20 min straight before I get a chance to speak at all. And by then I’m too scared to say anything because he’s already so angry that nothing I have to say even matters or gets immediately interrupted again.
This has to be some form of abuse?? It feels sick. And it’s giving me panic attacks.
Wanted to add: But after all that, the next day he will say “sorry I’m a piece of shit” and never actually apologizes for how he treats me. And then will basically shrug it all off and say he “spoke out of anger.” And I’m supposed to “move on” (his words) like it never happened. This is giving me whiplash and I feel insane.
