No idea what this is about OP. What has happened?

I have read some of your previous threads and you are being far, far too hard on yourself @Hippychickbbbb
From what I can remember you were bullied by this man, pushed away, called names.
I am not a therapist, and I think people use the word traumatised too often, but I do think it fits what you have been through.
Stop, stop, stop berating yourself.
Throwing a cup or raising your voice isn’t ideal but it seems you were absolutely at the end of your rope.
Take a breath. I know it’s tough but you need to concentrate on yourself for a bit. Don’t worry about meeting anyone else for a while, you are too vulnerable right now.
You definitely need some help and support. Please go to your GP, if you can, and tell them how you are feeling.
You have a life that’s yours and you deserve to live it. You are not an abuser, you are not abusive.
You are clearly very traumatised, and upset by what has happened to you.
Knowing that, and that you didn’t cause it, is really important for you to know right now.
I hope that helps a bit.

You need to leave. Trying to figure out if you are abusive or not is ignoring the bigger picture. He's violent and you are terrified. Get out.

It's not clear if you are still with this person, if you are terrified you need to leave. Who owns the property you live in.

You need some help desperately.

When you are sober, please read through all the threads you have created.

There’s such a thing as reactive abuse, that is a person reacts with what could be called violence but in context it is the result of extreme provocation

TheAvidWriter · 07/07/2025 19:04

OP its called reactive abuse, and essentially its when someone is abused for an extended period of time, and they just take it until they snap, and they react with shouting, pushing or anything else to "protect themselves, but essentially one just snaps.

I am sorry you have had a tough time. Be kind to yourself.
