What Are The Symptoms Of An Emotionally Abusive Person?
Question: If a spouse gets stock from his, family, and does not tell his spouse about how he is treating it, such as in a community property state, that seems to me to be emotionally abusive and an example of a person who is emotionally abusive. Do you agree? What treatment is available?
Brief Answer:
Question is confusing
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.
I have read your query and understood that you are asking about my view on a person that is not behaving in a manner he should be to his spouse.
Here I can not understand what you want to ask? Here your spouse is getting some stock from his family [? means your in-laws], he is using it or investing it but he has not told you about any of this. This is what I understand here.
Using financial sources without discussing with wife is not usual but he may be hiding it from you because you would not have allowed him to do so. He may be thinking of giving surprises and so on, there are so many reasons for doing this.
Here, I can suggest you to talk to him directly about the issues, because you may be thinking in a wrong way. Confronting him can solve the problem. I am not asking about ruining married life, I am asking about trust and companionship. Talk to him calmly and do listen to his explanation. The person is not emotionally abusive If you do not know the reason behind it properly.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have further query then I will be happy to help.
Wish you good health.
