If your boyfriend or any man pushes, or headbutts a woman... knocks them down, trips them, grabs them with force or just man-handles her in any way, is that just the same as if he hit her? Is that considered abuse?

I'm not trying to sound like the angel in the situation cuz when he does stuff like that i hit, and scratch, bite and pinch! He says he's just playing with me and that i get too serious about it... but it doesnt feel like he's playing atall then i get all crazy on him... I just hate being held down or man-handled in any way and he just cant seem to undertand that! He thinks im crazy and that i need help!

My boyfriend says this isnt abuse. That a man has to slap, punch, choke a woman for it to be abuse!

If you guys are wrestling for play, maybe you should ask him not to be so rough with you. If you guys are not, anything that makes you feel hurt or helpless is abuse. This includes words, so stop and think about things that he says. If he makes a habit out of cutting you down, I'd say he is on the fast track to hurting you badly one way or the other.

Any physical or emotional harm that is done between two people can be called abuse. What you have described is abuse in my book.
Any time a man or a woman hits, pushes (in anger), slaps, uses foul language, man-handles/woman-handles the other, it is abusive.
Let us not forget that women can be as abusive as any man. It is and always has been a two way street, a dance that takes two in many cases. Sometimes the only way to stop the dance is for one dancer to leave the dance floor.

I had a guy poke me in the chest before and I flipped out on him ... I would consider any of those to be forms of abuse ... if you put your hands on a woman or try forcing her to do something she doesn't want to do ... it's abuse ... !
Sorry to be rude here ... but your boyfriend sounds like an idiot ... you can be abused by getting yelled at all the time, told what to wear, pushed around, getting made fun of all the time, you can even go to jail for threatening some body's life ... so he better take a step back ( and you - those are horrible things to do to each other - even if you are just playing - come on biting, pinching ... that's what 6 yr olds do ) and reevaluate your attitudes towards each other ... good luck ... I wouldn't stand for any of it ... !

YES anything where a man puts his hands on a woman is abuse. If it is not in a sexual way than it is abuse. I advise you to get out now before it goes any further.

Abuse is any unwanted, unsolicited or unwelcome gestures, contact or other negative act intending to cause physical or emotional harm. All of the above are indeed physical abuse and it should not be tolerated.

You know what, you both are abusing each other and you need to get out now before someone is really hurt or dead.
This is not a cituation for either of you to be in.
You need to take anger management as well as him.
GET OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!
No one is worth this much hate and this much hurt in a relationship.

depends on the woman, my fiance and I do that all the time, and its just my personality. I've also always done that with my guy friends. I always wanted to be a marine, and I worked out with marines, and so I have always, even with my fiance, kinda been one of the boys. However if the girl can't defend herself or has a problem with it, he needs to know.

Don't even waist my time trying to find out.
If your not married, drop him as soon as possible and get far away from this guy!
He might have abusive parents and usually that's passed on to you and later to any kids that you have when married!
Good Luck!

Yes, any unwanted physical contact is suspect.
Maybe not classified as abuse, but there is assault, harrasment.
Talk to a law enforcement officer.
