Re: What is abuse? What isn't abuse?

sexual abuse: i notice it only covers forcing sex on someone - but what about withholding? i've probably got the only husband in the world who has a permanent headache that won't clear up until i lose some weight (our baby was born in march). he's constantly commenting on my eating and how my clothes don't fit and "i'd rather dress you than feed you" (i don't eat all that much, seriously) and so on. this makes me so angry and embarrassed i'm seriously considering not losing it just to show him he can't control me that way but then what's the point? i won't be any happier; i'll just be fat and miserable instead of just plain miserable and who knows? if i lose the weight, either he'll shape up or i'll find someone else.

sorry - im' having a little trouble staying focussed these days.
