    Both are forms of abuse, being ignored is emotional abuse in a relationship. For me, verbal abuse cuts more.

    I know, but I can handle verbal abuse. Being ignored though is absolutely awful.

    Verbally abused. Because the scars from that don't go away. The silent treatment/ignored shouldn't cause scars. But I could be wrong.

    I do actually think you're wrong. I can forgive verbal abuse which is said in the heat of the moment but the ignoring me is harder to take.

    They are both abuse. Take some distance from the person who cares about you and they'll realize just how much they do care about you and so.........will you!

    Caring is one thing. And yes, it is sad when the other person is abusive but sometimes, they are so far gone, they don't know they are being abusive. You have to teach them.

    Being ignored from my experience is way worse. Makes you feel worthless and horrid. Atleast verbal abuse (however wrong) is a sign of emotion.
