Is it considered emotional abuse when your partner completely disregards boundaries and trauma you have despite you talking about it?

If it becomes an intentional pattern, then yes, but also, they could have just forgotten if it happens once here or there. I have a lot of very specific needs when it comes to being touched and my partner forgets sometimes, but I just try to remind him and he always apologizes and tries to do better

I’m not 100% sure that’s abusive but it’s DEFINITELY mean as hell and a jerk move. This sounds like someone you should leave, he does not care enough to treat you kindly.

it is super intentional. It’s not just physical but also emotional where he constantly and purposely triggers my ptsd when he’s upset, even though I’ve told him repeatedly about it. I’m just worried I’m being too sensitive.

You’re not being sensitive, he’s being shitty.

You’ve told him about it and he keeps purposely crossing those lines? Yeah that’s abusive. A loving partner would not want to see you hurt or bring up pain from the past just because they are upset. It’s messed up
