Wife moved to parents on opposite coast #4

Cali, I've been wanting to ask this for awhile, but I haven't because I'm no expert, but the more I think of your sitch and read your responses, it seems more and more likely to me.

Did you emotionally abuse your W?

I ask because of these facts:
- you isolated her from her family, while taking family trips to your family
- you frequently tell others they are wrong
- you seem to believe your way is right because you know best
- you've described having to teach her things because you are older and wiser
- you seem to be a bit of a narcissist

I'm not asking if you intentionally emotionally abused your wife, but is it possible none the less? Most of the time, both parties are not aware of emotional abuse, but still feel the affects of it.

In my opinion, the best things to do for your sitch would be for you to see if you can relocate closer to her family and for you to seek IC, and you've expressed that you're not going to do either.
