Agree with Avanti, Preeti and Ani that there is a difference between being aggresive and being abusive. I think definition of 'abuse' is rightly explained in the first few pages. Therefore, my understanding of AR relationship is not abusive.
Aggressive, agree. Aggression came from frustration. Frustration? I think they created the situation themselves. Don't want to dwell too much on AR relation and what's going on at the moment. cause its been discussed before in too many topics. It will go back to square one on the questions like, why did she or he do it? why didn't she or he do it? why did she or he said that? etc. etc. So I rest my case on AR relation for the time being.
Abusive relationship - you need to understand what it is. Once you identify, you need to try to get out of it. Though sometimes, it is easier said than done.
In most cases, person who is abused is too scared to get out of it. Cause they have been abused!duh! which has made them feel insecure and weak. The only way out is for the person being abused is to build up the self-confidence and courage to get out it. Courage is the most important factor in getting out of abusive relationship. Courage will give you power to talk to someone and seek help. Courage is the power for you to do the bagawat and find ways to set yourself free.
It is not a problem of only our community but happens all over the world. I was thinking of.....we (the asian) have more tolerance than western people therefore, we keep on tolerating the abuse and not make it a big deal. But then thought, no, it happens in the western homes too, the eastern part too. So it happens all over the world.
Therefore, a great topic to discuss on. Thanks again Ridhi!
