Poison Drip

The act of slowly poisoning someone through small or subtle personal attacks over a period of time. Their strategy is to drag down their partners self esteem so they don't have the confidence to seek a better option.

Dave: "Randy, why don't you ever stand up to your bitch wife when she puts you down?"
Randy: "Well maybe shes right most of the time"
Dave: "You are so being poison dripped my friend!"

Other acts of poison dripping: 1) That look she gives you when her eyes roll upwards- slight poison drip
2) Discouraging you from eating healthy and/or exercise, so you are out of shape and can't seek a better option- these discouraging comments are a form of poison drip
3) When people mention your name to your partner and they have a negative or disparaging remark about you- slight poison drip

There are many examples of a poison drip in a relationship. Remember, they will slowly add up over time and if not identified early you will feel you have officially been poisoned. Sometimes a poison drip can be so small you may not notice it at the time its happening. Often times it's later on when your thinking back on the situation that occurred only to realize you have been "Poison Dripped."
