Guys, what in your mind - NOT the dictionary definition - do you consider rape, physical or emotional abuse or spousal/partner abuse?

In my opinion, rape is non-consentual sexual contact between at least two individuals, under threat of physical harm to the individual or someone (s) they care about, despite relationship status.

Emotional abuse is far more nebulous to me, as emotions change over time and can be far easier manipulated. I'd consider emotional abuse to be a deliberate and wilful action that only serves to cause mental or emotional duress to the victim. Ideally, this does not include any actual physical contact, and the offender does not need to be near the victim to perform the act. The purpose of the abuse is also to coerce the victim into compliance with the attacker through extremely personal and relation-specific threats.

Physical abuse is somewhere in-between, with actual physical violence being used to punish the victim or to coerce the victim. It does not need to mark the skin, nor does it even need to make contact- balling a first, or raising a hand to slap, coupled with situational context would be enough to determine intent to cause physical harm.

That's how I see it.

what demi did to me the constant cheating, acting completely ingrateful for everything i did for her showing no appreciation no thank you never saying she was sorry, her knowing how her cheating effected me emotionally and not giving a shit one fucking damn bit. all those late nights crying all those afternoons crying even crying in public and she didn't give a damn one bit she just kept on cheating regardless and didn't give a shit how much pain it caused me or how hurt i was and how heartbroken i was because of her. and her antagonizing situations as well. and instigating provoking and not caring. her acting like i was never good enough crossing boundaries with inappropriate posts about her and the guy she was with knowing full damn well i would see it and how upset it would make me her deliberate actions and not thinking or giving a shit before she acted out or posted stuff
