writes: Is it emotional abuse if someone makes you feel bad when you don't smoke or drink? Then, they turn it around and say that you're the one making a big deal out of nothing, when in fact they just can't take no for an answer?

reader, anonymous, writes (27 December 2007): yes ive been engaged for 5 years going on six and still there is no sign of wanting to get married. he misses work once every two to three weeks gets mouthy with me hangs up on me when i tel him iff he keeps it up he is going to lose his damn job. he neglects things he complains about my friend kim who is fatter than me and slanders her, im afraid he will do the same to me behind my back if someone says something about someone that's fat would it also mean they may do the same behind yours if you have some weight gain? and would that also be considered a form of abuse?

 Hi
Somelone that loves and cares for you wouldnt want to see you drink till you are drunk.He should wanna protect you.Im not saying that you are like this but when people are drunk they lose control of their actions and end up doing things they later regret. I see you bf and you are 10 years apart and so is my bf and i but he wants to protect me in everyhting that i do. I guess that there are different people in the world and i am glad that you put your safety first and got away from him you did the roght thing.
Regards,mail me if you wanna talk

Easy, WE LET OTHER PEOPLE do these things to us. You are letting it happen. Never feel uncomfortable around people, if you do, then move on. Is this a partner or a friend making you feel like this?
take care

Hi
Im not sure whether i wold call it emotional abuse but you are being pressured into doing things that you dont wanna do. I would suggest that you stay away from this person or people. They are bad for you.

 It depends on what they are saying to you.
Are you making a big deal of them smoking and drinking? or are they the one making a big deal out of your NON-habits?
How often is this coming up?
if the person (who is it?) is being verbally abusive towards you and degrading you, then Yes it is emotional abuse.
if they are just telling you you are lame etc.... they are probably just an idiot who you should stop hanging around with. emotional abuse? not so much. Loser acquaintance? hmmm-yeah!
