I was an abused woman, too. So don't tell me I'm demeaning abused women just because I have a different opinion on this matter than you do. You remind me of my abuser when you do that, he liked to belittle me as well as hit me.
By the way, mine was physical abuse, getting beat up, raped once, that sort of thing, as well as psychological abuse, fear, etc. But I also recognize emotional abuse. Such as people who toy with the hearts of others, and then betray them. Someone people do this in an exceptionally cruel and callous way, as I suspect this guy did, and probably deserve whatever consequences may result. I mean, nothing generates more passion than betrayal, and we've all heard the term "crimes of passion," right?
Mine was physical and emotional abuse. It doesn't mean I believe every women who claims abuse. And attacking me as being similar to your abuser: wow, that says a lot about you. You need therapy. You are sick. You don't do to anyone what Arias did because of being emotionally abused. She was free to walk away; they were not married, not even living together. You do not even have proof she was abused, that's just her story, which never came up before she killed him; and neither was it proven in court, that she was abused in anyway other than he told her he wasn't going to marry her and was going to date other women. If every man or woman on Earth felt they had the right to murder someone who didn't return their love, we'd be murdering each other right and left.
Wow! I am sick., I need therapy because the way you are talking to me right reminds me of the way my abuser treated me. ROFL And then you turn around and do it again by telling me I am sick, I need therapy. ROFLMAO That is EXACTLY what he would do. If I didn't agree with him or want to do things as he wanted them done...he would belittle me, tell me I was fucked up, I was the problem.
I think Travis might have been the sociopath, that's what I think. A motivational speaker who was masterful at manipulating people. He pretended to be in love with her, went along with her converting to his ridiculous religion (which has a history of demeaning women, by the way), got her all wrapped up in him, promising her a wonderful future with him, and then....BAM. Fuck off bitch, I want other women.
Yeah, that's the kind thing a sociopath would do. They aren't always murderers, they destroy people in many other ways. All the while convincing everyone what a wonderful person they are. Just like Ted Bundy.
Yes, you are sick to think that if someone disagrees with you, they are emotinally abusing you. You are sick to think that it is okay to tell someone who disagrees with you they are emotinally abusing you. You have clearly not dealt with and heeled from whatever abuse you suffered. In your own best interests, I would suggest you see someone. Seeing abuse at every turn is not healthy. Interpreting what people say who disagree with you as abuse is not healthy. I in no way belittled you. I disagreed with you, and you told me I was abusing you by disagreeing. That is when I said you have issues, which you clearly do if you can turn on someone who disagrees with you and say it is abuse.
