Yes, I think it's excused as being non-violent. This type of behaviour is nuanced and subtle, and it's confusing to the victim because it is often a pattern of behaviour over a period of time. They may recognize some parts of it that they don't like. It could also be more subtle, where they're slowly not allowed to spend time with friends and family, and that's justified for various reasons. I'm not sure if you want me to continue.
