All couples argue – it’s not domestic abuse, it’s just a normal relationship.
Abuse and disagreement are not the same thing. Different opinions are normal and completely acceptable in healthy relationships. Abuse is not a disagreement – it is the use of physical, sexual, emotional or psychological violence or threats in order to govern and control another person’s thinking, opinions, emotions and behavior. When abuse is involved, there is no discussion between equals. There is fear of saying or doing the ‘wrong’ thing.
