abuse is abuse - be it physical, emotional or sexual. rationalizing won't make it go away, nor will changing your behavior. It is the abuser who owns the problem not you. The question is then, how do you protect yorself from the abuse. Who do you know who can help you? Can you confide in a friend - do other people around you know about it? Break your silence - just as you have done here, this is a great first step for you to take, very brave - hopefully by breaking the silence, some of his power over you will diminish and you can take some necessary steps towards the equal and respectful relationship you want and deserve.
