This article is just what I needed to hear. Thank you! Things are making so much more sense to me now, even how I've been feeling. I have felt like a disposable object, not a cherished spouse, but I couldn't pinpoint why. Now I can. And I feel relief, sane again. Why is it that abusers seem to use the same tactics, as if they took a university course using the same textbook? It's weird.
