quote:

Mindy has special dietary needs. I cook natural foods because processed foods contain things she isn't supposed to eat. There are some restaurant meals that she can have but they're very limited. She's also cautious regarding all kinds of foods so there are additional things she tries to avoid if they're not healthy enough. The real difficulty is how hard she takes it if anything goes wrong. This isn't only regarding food but anything that goes wrong at all. Her illness has made her reactions severe. Here's an example.

There are a few places we get food from because their ingredients are okay. Recently I started getting a different version of a certain entree. Mindy and I had discussed this before I started getting the new version. I distinctly remember the conversation. The meal contains one food item which isn't very healthy, but neither is it on the list of foods we're actively avoiding.

Now Mindy noticed that the meal was different, even though she'd eaten it several times since the change was made. She didn't remember our conversation, and she thinks that I had made the change without asking her, and she's angry about it. Not sure how she didn't notice the ingredients were different until now.

I've been taking notes on her diet which show she has been eating this for the past few weeks. She questioned whether I had written it down wrong. Her reaction today was hostile and I'm afraid about what she'll be like when she comes home. I just feel terrible.

Basically an entire thread of responses going "you're being abused" come to this in the space of a few pages

quote:

Regarding your story - yes to destroying objects, although this is rare, maybe an average of once a year, although one year when she was really stressed out about something it happened around 6 times. The part that ticks me off most, oddly enough, is that the majority of the time I'm the one who ended up cleaning up the debris in order to help her calm down. Otherwise the moody aftermath will be worse / last longer.

No to berating me for hours, but yes to grilling me with questions, literally yelling in my face, and then getting even angrier when I'm paralyzed / unable to immediately answer. I've tried to explain to her how this is counterproductive plus scares the poo poo out of me and I think we may have made some progress on this. Granted, this has happened only about once or twice a year.

Near the end of the thread someone summarized the previous 70 pages

quote:

But she absolutely does know it. Just a few examples, from what you've said in the thread:

-You've mentioned about her throwing/breaking items and how you felt about it. She didn't care, and told you she would keep doing it, and that "it's not even directed at you anyway". Parts of the broken items have hit you before. She still does it.
-You made her breakfast, but it was sat on the side "too long" (if I remember rightly) so she kicked it across the room. She told you that you could make it again, but properly this time. What sort of feeling do you think she expected you to feel after that?
-She decided to lie on the couch in silence waiting for you to talk to her, and ask what was wrong, so that she could respond with a spiteful hurtful comment (and that was definitely intentional)
-She says inappropriate things in front of your daughter. I'm assuming you've brought this up, asked her not to? Even if not, I'm guessing the content is enough to infer that the comments are deliberate (if not for you, certainly for us). At the very very least she isn't bothering to watch what she says and how she acts around your child.
-She has said, in front of Katie, that she is jealous of Katie taking your attention. There is no way to spin that into a positive, and even if it was a thoughtless comment (nope), other comments and behaviours just reinforce it.
-She tries to make you put her wants over your regardless of context (the shower) and gets angry when you don't. She treats you badly afterwards, for extended periods. Not an accident, not unaware.
-The whole quitting her job thing, being angry at you for wanting to discuss it, and everything around that god drat
-Deliberately waking you up and ruining your sleep, not an uncommon occurrence
-She's deliberately changed her behaviour after being called out on it (the shouting, to the sulking and silent treatment). Like others have said, it's not an improvement, just different tactics

Do you see how there's no way that she doesn't realise what she's doing, based on the few things above? And that's only a few of the things that you've written in this thread.

It basically ends with PP being all "well some abusers don't ever change, but Mindy is changing and I'm willing to stand up to her now" like holy poo poo you realize this is literally part of the cycle of abuse.

not great.

It's made worse by the fact that same-sex relationships are often not treated seriously by law enforcement or the courts. Abusive same-sex relationships are about as common as they are in any other relationships, and the abuse often takes the same forms. Lesbian relationships can often include physical abuse that gets ignored by authorities, same with those of gay men. Female-on-male abuse is often glossed over or invisible, because it doesn't fit societal expectations, either.

Trauma is so drat common I'd like to see trauma-informed care forced into the training for every cop and healthcare worker, and then additional training on top of that.

In the female on male scenarios its usually almost impossible to spot from the inside because it usually takes the forms of emotional abuse, which is invisible by default before you add a dash of 'men aren't the abused partner'

There was a guy from my old town that everyone teased for being "henpecked" and "whipped" until his wife killed him and herself. Kinda changed all the public screaming and yelling matches our town saw from funny/embarrassing to "oh gently caress, how did we not see that coming."

That all happened before I was born, but even in retellings a lot of the blame was put on him for "not being able to control her."

As someone who has been there, yeah. There's also the "What sort of wuss are you?" thing that society does with abused men.
I look back on that time in my life now and wonder how the hell I didn't see what was going on.

They'll always find another victim within weeks. You can't protect someone who doesn't feel instinctive outrage at being treated like poo poo.

The priority should be to to find abusive personalities on a second offence and remove them from society until they are safe (so being realistic, for the rest of their lives)

It's a throwback to medieval/early modern european peasant morality. In rural France, if a husband was 'henpecked' eventually the whole community would gather around their house and harass them until he beat his wife.

Augh dangit. PP's partner's behavior reminds me of a (former) friend of mine who had a self-diagnosed extremely specific health condition that would google constantly. It would flare up occasionally and she would make everyone turn their lives upside down because pity poor me. Because it was environmental she'd destroy apartments and then crash on people's couches and then destroy their homes. We repeatedly told her to stop listening to internet doctors and start working with real doctors to get to the bottom of it.

After she basically lost all of her friends and burned every bridge it turned out that it wasn't a super rare super special morgellans-tier undiagnosable super disease that only internet people know about because doctors are idiots: it was a personality disorder layered with anxiety attacks.
