Is tickling abusive? ( Or can it be )

Question

My SO is very rough and strong, sometimes he tickles me out of nowhere and I can never get away from him. A few years ago, I had actually banned tickle fights because he always left bruises on me, they hurt alot, I couldn't do certain things. From than he was okay but now he's become rough again. I'm not really worried about myself and this because I'm always hurting myself anyway but now we are ttc, I don't want him doing this to our child. Maybe he doesn't understand his strength?????

Answer

No... It's not.

Answer

I don't think it's abuse necessarily, but it does sound like he needs to realize his strength. Let him know he's hurting you and he should stop.

Answer

Actually in the old days they used tickling as a torture method!

Answer

I hate tickling. Hate it. It's awful. But for some reason tickling my kids is so fun.

Answer

How does one get bruises from being tickled?

Answer

Unwanted physical contact is battery.

Answer

I would say even if he is "just" tickling you, him continuing to do it even when you say stop and then leaving bruises is a bit abusive. Your partner should respect that you don't want him to do it, and it's a red flag that he's not.

Answer

Any unwanted touch can classify as harassment or abuse.

Answer

Tickling is torture to me, lol. No, I don't actually think is abusive though unless you seriously want it to stop & the person doing it purposefully doesn't listen.

Answer

My SO loves tickling me though I hate it. He says he loves my laugh, it makes him laugh too, and sometimes turns him on. After setting some boundaries, like DO NOT touch my feet, he's learned to identify when I've had enough, and I've learned to really enjoy the extra touches and intimacy. It's how he shows affection.
