  • If you can't prove this person actually stole anything then yes, it's abuse and it's also slander! If that person gets tired of you accusing them or spreading the rumor they have stolen they can take you to court. It's called "Defamation of Character."
  • Unless you actually witness someone stealing it's very difficult to prove a person has stolen anything.

Is your wife abusive if she called you a thief and you asked her to apologize for doing so and her reply was that you were stealing?

That's not abuse. It's an argument. I disagree with the above comment. If a man calls a woman fat, ugly or stupid it is considered Abuse. The name calling makes her feel inferior. In this case A Wife calling her husband a Thief initially is an attack on his Character & Honesty. If he asked for an apology & she states "You were stealing", Her reply is intended to hurt & it is insulting. Calling someone a Thief is The Lowest of Insults.I believe anytime someone, "REACCUSES" It is deliberate & intended to hurt & IT IS THEREFORE ABUSIVE. Selica

Is it abuse or immaturity if your wife justified calling you a thief to a psychologist by relating 2 minor incidents that occured 24 and 25 years earlier?

If she's reaching that far to come up with negative stuff against you, let it drop. It sounds like she's desperate to justify her position. As for whether it's abuse, no. You aren't bleeding, no broken bones and if you've gone to a counselor for stuff it sounds like there is already plenty of conflict. If we start allowing that kind of behavior to be considered "abuse", then we diminish the outrage of REAL abuse. The simple fact is, we're all called names, accused of things that didn't happen and generally "abused" verbally. But it's not really abuse. It's just a cry for attention.
