When your husband abuses you?

Marriage is a lot of things: companionship, love, partnership, and mutual respect. It’s also about learning to deal with your partner’s idiosyncrasies and quirks -which can sometimes be amusing, let’s admit it- over the long haul. But what happens when the man you thought was “the one” crosses the line from quirk to abuse? Whether you’re dealing with minor irritations or full-blown brutality, this guide will help you navigate some of the key challenges posed by an abusive spouse.

Signs He May Be Abusive

Before we get into what actions to take when a husband is abusing his wife (please note that any form of domestic violence or emotional abuse should never be tolerated) it is important to know whether he is exhibiting signs that could qualify as abusiveness. Some indicators are:

  • Controlling behavior
  • Extreme jealousy
  • Verbal insults or humiliation tactics
  • Isolation from friends and family members
  • Blaming behavior for all shortcomings on their partner

If your partner regularly displays even just one sign from these behaviors above then there may already be cause for concern in your current situation.

Tips For Protecting Yourself From Abuse: Assessing Physical Safety

The safety level of protecting yourself in abusive situations may differ depending on severity; if abuse has reached physical levels before then please contact emergency services immediately upon safety retrieval e.g leaving home without being followed.

Some avoidance mechanisms which may protect against aggression include:

  1. Setting boundaries especially early after noticing violent/outbursts tendencies;
  2. Avoidance/leaving at earliest possible time when feeling intimidated;
  3. Developing alternative ways exit strategies;

Creating An Emergency Plan

It is recommended that partners devise an emergency plan once they become aware that their spouse/partner has a violent tendency either psychologically or physically: A comprehensive escape plan should include details such as:

  • Clues and messages to signal distress towards people who can assist;
  • Where you could go if violence or neglect persists ;
  • Anyone outside of immediate family members who may be able to provide a safe haven

Reach Out To Support Groups

There are online support groups where victims of domestic abuse can meet and talk with others in similar situations. It is always useful to communicate with someone who has gone through the same trouble initially (registered) instead of discussing human error- this helps promote self believe for experiences.

If your situation allows, reach out on face-to-face basis; join feminist support groups which sensitize norms surrounding abusive behavior or partaking in self-defense classes.

Remind Yourself That Abuse Is Not Your Fault

Abuse is never anyone’s fault regardless of any person, creating ways by which abusers make themselves appear as though their conduct was justifiable. It is strongly recommended that persons being humiliated take steps toward engaging third parties (who/ organisations recognised) for more effective victim assurance programs.

Reminding oneself that abuse does not come from personal flaws but root misconduct will help disentangle them further into addiction coupled with a sense shame – as such moving forward into healing process.

Try Journaling

Journaling encourages looking deeper introspectively ensuring that one is able to deal effectively alongside addressing mental health symptoms when signs are unnoticed or underestimated. Writing how one feels down daily: allows processing while making it easy when discarding invalidated feelings because the ability pinpoint issues is ready at hand enhancing progress.

For recovery some things which should be looked after include seeking counseling / therapist sessions .
