#partner abuse

We are two very sick beings that should just get worse together. Wouldn't that just be lovely?

ocd saneism is my now-ex knowing i mainly struggle with germs/cleanliness and moral ocd and then trying to make me reach into a trash bin to take out a bottle i’d recycled without washing it out, with the justification that the entire bin’s contents wouldn’t be recycled because of my mistake

This is OCD saneism and emotional/psychological abuse.

I’m so glad they’re your ex-partner. They had no right to treat you that way. Knowing the psychological distress your disorder causes you and using that as leverage is absolutely disgusting, and I’m really sorry that happened to you. You didn’t deserve to be treated that way.

Maya Henry spoke about Liam Payne's abuse during their relationship in a podcast about stan culture with two young podcasters (one was a 1D fan growing up).

It's clear that the mainstream press is reluctant to cover her story since she named Liam, but she's lawyered up and ready to talk.

trans folks! your partner misgendering you or refusing to use your pronouns is abuse btw. if they dismiss or ridicule your identity like that, its abuse! doesnt matter what pronouns you use- neopronouns, she/her, it/its, any combination of any pronouns.

Pointing a gun to my head, telling me she will shoot me if I cum...but she'll actually shoot me regardless.

AU where Wen Qing is Wei Wuxian's unofficial physical therapist (he couldn't afford one otherwise). Most recently messed up in a motorcycle accident, he also has various old injuries from being a teenage hooligan.

So Wei Wuxian is complaining to Jiang Cheng in public somewhere, like a café or a dining hall, like, "Wen Qing is so mean to me! I'm so sore! Look, is my shoulder bruised? It feels bruised."

And Jiang Cheng says something snarky and dismissive, like, "You deserve this."

And Lan Wangji overhears only parts of this conversation and comes to his own alarming conclusions.

So the next day Lan Wangji tells Wei Wuxian that he has something very important to talk to him about. He sounds so serious that Wei Wuxian is like, "Sure, buddy. Your place?"

Wei Wuxian doesn't know what to expect, but definitely not for Lan Wangji to haltingly but determinedly start talking about how Wei Wuxian deserves to be safe, and it's okay to ask for help, and men in relationships can be abused by women partners, too, and it's important not to be ashamed and to utilize the resources available.

He pushes a bunch of pamphlets across the table at Wei Wuxian and adds earnestly, "I know your family situation is complicated, so if you need somewhere to go you can stay with me."

And Wei Wuxian is so stunned and horrified that Lan Wanghi thinks Wen Qing is his abusive girlfriend, but also so, so happy that Lan Wangji cares so much about him! He brought pamphlets and everything!!

And when Lan Wangji explains that he overheard Wei Wuxian talking to Jiang Cheng, Wei Wuxian starts laughing and explains, "No no no, Wen Qing is my physical therapist, she isn't abusing me, I'm just a crybaby whiner! We live together but we're definitely not dating!!"

And before Lan Wangji can get too embarrassed Wei Wuxian calms down and says, "But like hey, I'm so touched you care about me and wanted to help me, like even if you kind of hate me you're still such a good person."

Cue Lan Wangji's, "I've never hated you, I've criticized your behavior in the past because you put yourself in danger and get hurt."

And of course they start dating soon, and when Lan Wangji finally meets Wen Qing he brings her favorite food as apology, and Wen Qing forgives him. (His cooking is really good. And also she's secretly-not-so-secretly glad that Wei Wuxian has such a good person to take care of him and keep him safe and happy.)

(Anyway this is what happens when I'm bored at physical therapy I guess lol)

Okay I know it's all very serious and everything that in the one-two-three domino deaths of the people Louis had any kind of structurally protected ability to confide in (Lily, Paul, Father Matthias) Lestat murdered at least two of them in a deliberate and successful endeavor to isolate Louis and drive him to total emotional dependency on Lestat and in fact partner abuse conversations aside the treatment of Lily and her murder is one of my more coherent political objections to the show and that's all genuinely quite serious as well but it's still really funny to think about the murder of Lily from Lestat's perspective because he sat on that one for like two weeks. It is clear in retrospect he killed her because she was someone Louis felt able to talk to. But Louis's sister was getting married and he was having a busy couple weeks and also had just had an unwanted sexual awakening so he simply did not try to hire Lily in that period and thus did not find out about it until everything else was already going down. Imagine you're a completely deranged romantically possessive predatory immortal monster and you're stalking this guy because you've decided he's going to be your bride of death but you freaked him out so bad the first time you fucked that he has been ignoring you in favor of dealing with his own actual family so you need to start violently severing his anchors to the mortal world and you start by killing the sex worker who he visits regularly and who told you once ''me and Louis usually just talk'' and who is probably the closest thing he has to a therapist and he doesn't notice. You still have to crash a funeral to get his attention.
