but that's sort of why it needs to be mentioned bc part of the power comes from never quite being sure it's wrong
-
Well, yes. Accusations of it can be used to manipulate as well. You're abusing me by not paying me enough attention/emotional labour.
-
yes. it's an attempt to control your partner's behaviour or emotional reactions. That's the cornerstone of abuse in a relationship
-
Yes, but so can accusations of it be an attempt to control them. We see it with feminists accusing men of not doing enough emotional labour

But the point is most people think abuse means random acts of violence, but abuse is really about control
