I believe it is especially if he uses derogatory or hurtful comments when yelling. There are so many more effective ways of communication than yelling. Maybe he was brought up seeing it was okay to yell at his spouse instead of talking to her. Is it possible for you to sit down and talk with him and let him know this is bothering you? And who is it that is saying yelling is not verbal abuse?

If the yelling is giving you tension and feels abusive, then it IS abusive to *you*. If you witnessed your spouse talking to a small child in the same way, would it be OK, or not? YOU are no less innocent and deserving of decent treatment!

It can not be settled cause there is no information. If they are yelling at you cause you are doing something wrong then it may not be abuse. Give more data get better answers.
