Anything can be grounds for divorce, verbal abuse, objectionable noises and habits, ways of dress, likes and dislikes. In California it's called "irreconcilable differences have led to an irremedial breakdown of the marriage and counseling will not help". Those are the magic words and all that are needed to get a divorce.

Yes, it's called extreme mental cruelty.

i wouldnt tolerate it... that wouldnt seem to be a healthy marriage to me

Verbal, I just think it would take alot of work, communication, understanding, and "time"...eventually if the opposing party shows alot of love, and tries to figure out the problem with the abusive party...there could be a change for the better.....But if they are abusive and its only "a relationship"...They need to get out.

I'm not sure if you're asking legally or morally. Legally, sure, whatever. The Family Laws are written so loosely that ANYTHING - including just wanting out of the marriage - is grounds for divorce. Morally, I don't think it's quite that cut and dry. However, I would say to the ABUSED that it's certainly grounds for separation. BUT there's a problem there too: Defining "Verbal Abuse" is like nailing Jello to the wall. Everyone seems to have a different definition for what does and does not constitute "Verbal Abuse". Personally, I would suggest that the couple seek marriage counseling before they make any drastic, life changing decisions.

Depends. If someone says "you're a slob & a horrible housekeeper" and its true, then its not nice...but its not abuse. If someone says "you'r a slob & a horrible housekeeper" but your house is immaculate & you're not a slob, then its not abuse, its the truth. You should seek marriage counseling to validate your claims. I'm not saying this to be a smartass, I'm saying this to assist you if you truly feel you're being verbally abused. If this is the case, verbal abuse can (in many cases) be worse than physical abuse. And because of that, you may need the assistance of a counselor. Not only will you need his/her support emotionally, but you may need it legally if you proceed to divorce. I wish you the best of luck & support.

Abuse is abuse. Being mean is being mean. Do you have to take it? NO. Do you have to take it just because it's not physical abuse? Hell no. Good luck.
-
yes, in my book abuse is abuse
-
Who even cares whether it breaks the marriage vows or not? If you're being abused in any way, GET OUT OF THAT MARRIAGE!
-
In my state verbal cruelty and abuse is grounds for divorce...thank goodness because getting evidence for infidelity is extremely hard.
