A - obviously
Abuse is "domestic violence". A "disease" as defined by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
"violence as actual or threatened physical or sexual violence, or psychological and emotional abuse, directed toward a spouse, ex-spouse, current or former boyfriend or girlfriend, or current or former dating partner."
There's nothing "loving" about that.

For me, it's A. You raise a hand to me, you hurt me emotionally, I'll leave you.
Everything else, I think, depending on the circumstance is totally natural. Fighting, yelling, crying, who doesn't do that at one stage or another in their relationship?
Arguing and making up, thinking about breaking up, etc, I think everyone goes through that. Some daily, others occassionally. For me, it's weekly at the moment!
Dealing with the disapproval? It seems no matter what or who you are in life, you're going to get disapproval. I think what's part of a loving relationship is working through your feelings surrounding the disapproval together.
P.S Paul, thank you for asking so many thoughtful questions. I've asked a couple and two have been deleted for 'Violation of Blah'!

A) Physical or emotional abuse.
A loving relationship should never physically hurt any individual and emotional abuse is just as bad. If you love each other, you can argue but you must take care of one another.

I wouldn't think any of them are part of a loving relationship.
In D did you mean disapproval is genuinely reasonable, cos I wouldn't think that unreasonable is genuine.

Definitely A. There is no room for "abusive" and "loving" in the same sentence!!
All the rest are a normal part of a relationship.

The most cut and dried answer is "A".
"B, C, and D" will always be part of a loving relationship in varying shades of grey.

A). Everything else happens sometimes in some healthy, loving relationships, but abuse is never that.
