abuse, relationship abuse, signs of abuse

muincat says:

While reading this same page, I realized that my housemate/husband's girlfriend (long story, if you don't know me personally, please don't ask) did these things to me. I suppose that still counts as abuse even if she wasn't MY partner, doesn't it? Another thing to mention to my lawyer. ...Or maybe none of it matters since Oregon is a "no fault" state when it comes to divorce.
