toxic515, I'm not referring to the distinct difference of a cult. I was thinking mainstream evangelical, born again christian, Judaism, heck, even Muslim conversion.

No, I'm not underestimating it BG. What he does behind closed doors is no ones business until it's assault or battery of some sort. He can be a bigger dick in private than he is in public, there's no law against that he is breaking.

I'm quite versed in emotional abuse. There are no laws against having an emotionally abusive spouse or boss. I say it is unfortunate because it is. It requires the offended abused to find enough self esteem to seek solace elsewhere by changing their situation. There is no respite or relief from any laws in the US or any other country that I know of. There's no law against having a boss like the one in Devil Wears Prada, just like there are no laws about Boyfriend Is A Misogynistic Prick. The law is clear when it comes to married couples.

The closest laws crafted for this is bullying and well, they aren't protecting adults, they are protecting children. The next closest art torts about battered women syndrome, which applies to married women.

There are no laws crafted towards anti-bullying for simple consenting adults.

The tort law is very clear about this. Battery is a distinct tort. Forcing subservience to ask for permission to do something has no precedent tort whatsoever. There are no laws about manipulating people in front of others.

Stating that one can lead to the other, is just about the same as equating that arguing people lead to people assaulting each other. It can happen, it is within the realm of possibility but there isn't a law about raising your voice in heated disagreement with someone. There is a specific tort about assault and battery.

shesus, there's nothing hostile about what I'm writing. If you're reading that into it, you're bringing it, I'm not providing it. Your OP I read it quite literally, she did not say to you, "I don't like the relationship, I'd to get out of it." which is what I was looking for when I read and wrote my opinion. "Doesn't want to go through the break up" isn't the same as saying, "I'm fearful of my life or well being if I stay with him." If she said such a thing, I'd be with everyone saying she's got to leave now, call local shelters etc.

You've stated what your desire is, you would meddle in someone else's business that you felt was "negative" in your opinion.

My opinion in this isn't much different than everyone else's to a point. Again, I gave a dissenting opinion because everyone else's was the same, I'm providing a different point of view because you asked for different thoughts. Obviously, everyone in this thread wants it to be a non-dissenting opinion so this will be my last post here.
