Should apathy from husband counted as domestic abuse by law or society?
Apathy is not abuse. It IS the absence of affection. But it is also the absence of cruelty. Indifference is right in between positive and negative interaction. Nagging and shouting on the other hand IS negative. It intends to hurt and manipulate the other person. That is abuse. Some women just have an odd perspective on these things. Since emotion is such a part of their communication, they see apathy as a “withholding” of emotion and withholding bother them so they think it’s cruel and they call it abuse. Well they might. I think these women would prefer a shouting match to indifference.
