What should you do when you have been with a guy for a year now and the verbal abuse is getting worse and he says it is just fun but it is at your expense?

I think the key words here are "getting worse," "fun," and "my expense." First of all, since when is it ever fun to abuse someone verbally? Believe me, that is a problem caused by the way he views himself, some inner conflict, or other problem that HE HAS. I doubt that it is going to do anything but get worse. At your expense? Let me ask you how his verbal abuse makes you feel? On the other hand, let me guess, and I'll bet if I'm not right on I'm extremely close. You've only been together for a year, so you are probably still in the phase of being extremely hurt and you probably cry a lot. You are confused as to how this guy can talk to you like he does. You long for him to stop and talk to you with respect. His verbal abuse tears you down deep inside and makes you feel horrible about your situation and yourself. The fact that he thinks "it's just fun" tells me that he is not going to stop, so here is where it can lead: You will become resentful and bitter. While you may love the guy now, the love will be replaced with an acceptance that this is just the way the guy is and it'll make you angry. At the greatest extreme, you will end up not caring about the guy at all. My advice? Leave the guy - NOW! ~Deb

When might verbal abuse happen?
From research it appears there is no date as to when verbal abuse became an issue. There are many research papers done on physical abuse and most likely from hearing enough stories from physically abused victims some doctor put two and two together. Verbal abuse is just as harmful as physical abuse and worse, because verbal abuse scars the mind and soul and there are no laws in the U.S. to protect a victim from verbal abuse, (you can't go to the police and complain you are being verbally abused), but there are for victims of physical abuse that are left with broken bones, missing teeth, black eyes and bruises (often taken into evidence.) One should remember that in every relationship there is arguing, some name calling, but when it becomes a constant attack on one of the partners that's when it becomes verbal abuse. Here are signs of a verbal abuser: * Yelling * Intimidating * Name-calling * Accusing * Humiliating * Belittling * Using sarcasm * Putting you down * Rejecting your opinion * Threatening * Ridiculing * Criticizing * Insulting * Blaming * Mocking * Treating you with scorn * Disparaging your ideas * Trivializing your desires

What is verbal hostility?
Verbal hostility, or in other words, verbal harassment or abuse is basically a negative defining statement told to or about you or withholding a response and pretending the abuse is not happening. Verbal abuse (or hostility) can lead to emotional abuse and hostility in the workplace. This can lead to hatred and noneffective dispositions in the workplace, and this is precisely the reason why workplaces work to eliminate such disturbances. However, verbal abuse is seen in many other places, not just in the workplace. In school, it takes the title of bullying and even at home parents can emotionally abuse their children or spouses.
