Yup, at least three times, here are the major ones.

First was sexual (or should that be asexual?) as after a wild first six months we never had sex - or even hugs! - for the next six years.

Second was emotional, just lots of repeated verbal abuse and undermining of me, topped off with a final two years of no sex (which she refused to explain until after I'd left her, apparently she'd convinced herself I was having an affair, which I absolutely wasn't) and one episode of her physically attacking me whilst drunk.

Third was a girlfriend (unlike the other two we never lived together) who kept dumping me then asking me to get back together two days later. After she'd done it seven times in an otherwise-wonderful 18 months I told her that she was emotionally abusing me and that the next time would be the last. She didn't believe me and did it again. End of story.

There's been others but generally brief things where I saw the warning signs early and got out quickly.

Believe it or not in amongst that lot I have actually found time to have a couple of reasonably healthy relationships (one of which I'm still in) but I do seem to have had more than my fair share of disasters.

Yes my old girlfriend used to beat me like I was a human piñata. With all the deep bruises I had I looked like that purple dinosaur Barney.
@BozoBoy I had a girl in Mississippi who was a heavy drinker. She used get violent and then call the police on me, and they would take her to jail every time! It was sick and hilarious! I don't consider that abusive though. I loved her, and I could have left any time.
I finally did when she turned on the gas while I was asleep and put wet towels under the doors.

Does being a child abuse survivor count? Lol
@InvaderNice I think so

Emotional not physical
Zoranna · F
No, fortunately.
Yeah. Horrible case of Munchhausen's syndrome and a whole lot of other issues. I had no choice but to bail. We divorced in 04. I was an idiot who married out of the simple fear of being alone.

Yes I’ve been in two, one physical and the other emotional and mental abuse.
My ex fiancé used to hit me, my recent ex used to belittle me and said lots of horrible things to me.

I've been in a soul sucking relationship, if that counts?

Not physically abusive
SW-User
@HannahSky People often don't realize that verbal, psychological, financial, spiritual and sexual abuse are all just as bad, or sometimes worse than physical.
HannahSky · F
That's why I clarified, I know that.
SW-User
@HannahSky Sorry, I didn't mean that to come across as me correcting you. That wasn't my intent. It was more of an affirmation of your statement... that those other abuses are just as painful.
