Hermione isn't trying to hurt him in these arguments and he almost never is hurt by them

Yes. Yes she is. Ron often hurts Hermione thoughtlessly, but Hermione calculated every single thing she did or said all throughout HBP to make Ron feel bad. "I only date good Quidditch players." And actually calculating who would upset Ron most for her to go to the Christmas party with?

I think Hermione's a horrible person. I have an essay with bullet points and everything. But those moments...reading them actually made me feel sick. And it made me feel sicker to see fandom excuse them by saying she was a teenager and in love. Goodness, I'm glad none of my friends were like that.

The thing is, abusive relationships don't just mean being hit/belittled for small things. Those are extreme.

I think you're wrong. Unless Ron is an animal too stupid to know any better, you can't say that she's abusing him if he's never hurt by her behavior. Maybe you can say the relationship isn't healthy, but he seemed to like her despite the fact that she was a petty bitch -- in fact, maybe because of it, since I seem to recall Ron being only too quick to encourage the arguments and even escalate them.

Some people enjoy arguing.

If Ron had been hurt by her behavior, if he had ever been wounded by something she said in the heat of anger, I think she would have felt bad and apologized. And if Ron had resented her deeply for the things she said instead of rising to the challenge, I think she would've been nicer to him. But since Ron responded in kind and their relationship never suffered long-term, Hermione kept with what came naturally to her. She didn't have to be someone she wasn't because he liked her just fine as a petty bitch.

*shrug* I'm not saying I think it's romantic, but it's probably pretty realistic. Some people like petty bitches.

Some people like petty bitches.

I've seen those people. It ended horribly, and in one case, now results in my friend raising a kid that isn't his because the mother flaked out.

Ron does get hurt. Not crying, but he gets upset about the things she says. And whether or not he got horribly hurt, the point was that Hermione was actively trying to hurt him. That's horrible.

At any rate, Ron is pretty awful with her. I focus on Hermione because I hate her more. But they both seem like a bad match. And when they get married, what are they even going to talk about? The only thing they have in common is being friends with Harry and all that entails.
