I would also like some examples, I think it's been happening to me, however the books are not clear. I don't want to blame my H for Verbal Abuse if I am not 100% sure. I got things like You don't know how to have a conversation, so I am not going to talk to you. I got you shouldn't use the oven when it's hot outside. He blew out candles saying I was going to burn the house down. But then he was so nice at other times, and I think he really does love me. I am just so confused, I read one book that said if you've ever felt hurt by something your H said it was verbal abuse, and well I felt hurt a lot, but he just said he was only joking or I took it the wrong way. I just want to make sure I am not crazy.
