The fact that it’s confusing might be the first clue you’re in trouble. You don’t need an “approved” excuse to get out of a relationship. If you’re wondering if you’re being abused, the semantics don’t even matter anymore. Something is going on and whatever that something is, it’s not good, and it’s enough.
