IS YOUR PARTNER AN ABUSER? When you react strongly or tell someone that their behavior is hurting you, a good friend or partner will work to improve & avoid that behavior in the future. Unfortunately, abusers do the exact opposite. When they notice that a certain behavior is upsetting you, they adopt it as a new strategy. The stronger you react, the better the strategy. If the silent treatment makes you beg and plead, theyll start giving you more silence. If hints of cheating & infidelity make you cry, theyll start tossing in more and more of those subtle suggestions. Our assumption is that all humans feel remorse when they see someone else in pain, but abusers exploit these most vulnerable cries for help and then amplify whatever is causing it
