Covert abuse sneaks up on you. You may not recognize certain behaviors in your spouse as being abusive for days, weeks, months, or years, and even then, they can be hard to identify. That\\u2019s what makes covert abuse so incredibly painful, confusing, and hard to see, especially from the outside.\\xa0
Is your husband emotionally abusive, or does he just not know what it takes to be a good husband in a marriage? When does abuse become abuse \\u2014 the first time, or after it is repeated many times over? If it\\u2019s just covert abuse and not overt, \\u201cobvious\\u201d abuse, does that even count as abuse, and should you just be patient with your husband? Let\\u2019s talk through each of these listener questions and more together.\\xa0
