Your partner wont give you sex because you say no to a request she made. I mean, she manipulates you with sex all the time.

guys/girls if any of this is happening to you in yr relationship - you need to chill:


jealousy or possessiveness towards you.
(Jealousy is the primary symptom of abusive relationships; it is also a core component of Sexual Addictions and Love Addiction.)
Tries to control you by being very bossy or demanding.
Tries to isolate you by demanding you cut off social contacts and friendships.
Is violent and / or loses his or her temper quickly.
Pressures you sexually, demands sexual activities you are not comfortable with.
Abuses drugs or alcohol.
Claims you are responsible for his or her emotional state. (This is a core diagnostic criteria for Codependency.)
Blames you when he or she mistreats you.
Has a history of bad relationships.
Your family and friends have warned you about the person or told you that they are concerned for your safety or emotional well being.
You frequently worry about how he or she will react to things you say or do.
Makes "jokes" that shame, humiliate, demean or embarrass you, whether privately or around family and friends.
Your partner grew up witnessing an abusive parental relationship, and/or was abused as a child.
Your partner "rages" when they feel hurt, shame, fear or loss of control.
Both parties in abusive relationships may develop or progress in drug or alcohol dependence in a (dysfunctional) attempt to cope with the pain.
You leave and then return to your partner repeatedly, against the advice of your friends, family and loved ones.
You have trouble ending the relationship, even though you know inside it's the right thing to do.

• You are feeling controlled by your partner – they may be reading your mail and texts and checking up on yousigns of an abusive relationship

I DISAGREE WITH THE ABOVE. THERE IS NO HARM READING YOUR PARTNERS MAIL. IF YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO BE DODGY WHY BOTHER ABOUT YOUR PARTNER READING YOUR MAILS . AS LONG AS YOUR HANDS ARE CLEAN, IT SHOULDN'T BE ANY WORRY.

SECONDLY THERE IS NO HARM IN MY PARTNER PUTTING ON WHAT I ADMIRE ON OTHER LADIES. FOR EXAMPLE I LIKE MY GIRLFRIEND LOOKING SPORTY. I ADMIRE IT ON OTHER LADIES AND I GET A SET OF JEANS AND NICE T-SHIRTS A PAIR OF SPORT FOOT WEAR. SHE WEARS IT AND IAM PLEASED. YOU CALL THAT ABUSIVE. NO NO NO. EVEN WITHOUT IT I LOVE HER SO THERE IS NOTHING CLOSE TO ABUSIVE IN THIS SCENARIO.
