In our society, many of us carry value based on our status. Some examples include being male, wealthy, heterosexual or white-skinned. Has your partner ever:
treated you like a servant
made all the “big” decisions, telling you what to do
acted like the “master of the castle” using that to justify abusive behaviors
used heterosexism or homophobia to put you in fear
threatened to “out” you to family or coworkers
said you aren’t a “real” LGBTQIA
threatened to tell your children or former partner that you are in a relationship with a an individual of the same gender.
