Abusive Relationships

Yea, I think women in an abusive relationship should shut up or get out.

Whereas with ME and my work situation

So what makes you different?

See, when Lehah suggests you smear dog shit under everything she owns and everyone else is nodding in agreement, it's because nobody else thinks you're different from any other abused person. You just think you are. Yes, abused people really do sound like that.

The real solution really would be to walk away from it, but you won't. And worse, you still don't seem to realize at all how little you're really doing to resolve the situation. You're letting ego get the better of you with this notion that you're strong enough to put up with it for extremely nebulous ends.

Honestly - why DO you put up with it all? And don't say "to win", because that's not a real goal. Not in real life.

They still fucking "love" their shitty shit significant other.

It's rather depressing how few people can distinguish between actual love, and mere infatuation. That, plus the other common misconception that "love conquers all" when all accumulated knowledge on the subject says otherwise. People won't use their heads in relationships.

Sexninja ~ The reason why I'm sorta secretive with certain things I say is because my ex had me stalked for awhile after I first left him. He had people watching me, coming up to me trying to be my friend and find out my business. I'm sure he's still up to his tricks because he tried it again recently.

Kill a small animal and nail it to his door with a threatening note. That should get the point across.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Sass, your machismo in response to mental abuse would be admirable, except that as stated repeatedly, in the same situation you yourself don't do anything to rectify the situation. Vague statements that "things will be changing soon" are the words of a battered wife. You're banking on your dad changing his ways, which we all know is not going to happen. You're not being proactive enough to drive your arch-nemesis away, nor are you willing to swallow your pride and quit.

You're guilty of the very thing you're railing against and you don't even know it.

And I've been through this tripe with Devo already. Just because theres a woman in my office that makes my life a living hell doesn't mean that I am getting abused. It means that there's a woman in my office. Take that as you will.

And that's why you don't acknowledge the existence of emotional abuse; you don't know it when you see it.
