Okay V, here it goes.

I think me complaining about her not getting things done can be seen as emotional abuse. I am sure W thought it was because I never told her that she did anything good or thanked her for the little things she did do.

I know me telling her she can just leave when we got into bad arguments is emotional abuse. I know wife took it to be emotional abuse also. I am sure it hurt her and did not make her feel wanted or loved when this came out of my mouth.

I think me blaming her for our problems or problems with the kids is emotional abuse. I think my wife felt like it was emotional abuse also. I am sure it hurt her and made her not feel very good about herself.

I think me being selfish is emotional abuse. It does not make her feel loved and appreciated if I can't share things with her. It kind of belittles her in a way.

I also think the dirty looks I gave her are emotional abuse. I know it bothered her. She said I looked mean when I got angry or over reacted.

I think years of going through this type of behavior from me is emotional abuse. I am sure it damaged her self esteem and caused her years of hurt feelings.
