    Huh, so all those times my ex was yelling at me weren’t yelling? I suppose it also wasn’t banging doors, threatening divorce, or stomping out of the room?

      I never made any comment on my opinion towards the application of the term. I only pointed out that it’s used differently, for reasons determined by social factors, and that more specific language eliminates confusion.

      What you’re describing sounds like verbal and emotional abuse. You can call it that. It’s okay to say that you have been verbally abused before. I don’t know you, nor can I make any kind of sweeping declarative statements based on 2 sentences a random person has sent me. But I assume that you feel you were abused and I am in no way invalidating that.

      But did you consider that maybe you just weren’t doing enough chores around the house and that she was tired from dealing with kids all day? Just quit being a man baby. This is sarcasm. I am being sarcastic right now.
