What falls into the abuse category? I know that it's abuse when a husband beats his wife, but what if he just really puts her down verbally, not really yelling, but manipulates her and guilt trips her into doing whatever he wants, even when she doesn't want to do it, and makes her miss big plans she had been planning on for weeks like he wants control over the situation or something? By guilt trip I mean there were plans to go to a friend's house and help her cook her very first turkey of all time, and then last minute before going the husband says that really they would like to come home to his family, and if she chose to go to the friend's house that meant that friends were coming before family, which meant that she couldn't take care of family, and then he threatened he could make it so she didn't have a family to take care of anymore.
