Anyone elses abusive partner refuse to socialise with them?
My husband said he couldnt relax and enjoy himself with me around for the last couple of years of the relationship and so I was made to stay home though his friends girlfriends and wives were allowed to go. I didnt realise this was a form of abuse ntil we separated. Anyone else have a similar story? Posted on 04/05/08, 07:04 am |

This is reinforcement of isolation. They completely remove every person from our lives that isn't them. Family, friends; all of them have to go. This keeps us tethered to them since they become our only lifeline. My ex used to take my cell phone my car keys and the computer keyboard and lock them in the trunk of his car and then go to the bar and proceed to get screaming drunk for the rest of the night. With no way to call or email anyone and no way to drive away I was literally a prisoner inside my own house.
So yes, the isolation you speak of is very very common in abusive relationships.

I sort of ended up in a position where I had to distance myself from a lot of my husband's friends; long and complicated story, but to put it briefly he was hanging around with a very dysfunctional crowd, I could see for myself that this was not a healthy environment for me to be in.
It was difficult, and I was very isolated for a long time, but I did manage to build my own friendships and support network even while the marriage was bad.

I got married at the tender age of 16. The guy I married was sphyco.He beat me on a weekly basis. He had a room in the house that was locked up and I wasnt aloud to go in ever. He hated me. I wasnt aloud to get a job or a drivers licence or do anything. I was with him for 4 freakin years untill one day when I was laying in the floor convulsing from drinking much alcohol (gee I wonder why) as he looked at me and laughed with an evil grin I snaped and realized I DID NOT LOVE HIM and I left and never looked back
