Just as the title says. Although let me elaborate. If only because I love to read what I write. Seriously these requests sound so beautiful when I first make them. -sigh- I suck.

What do I mean by abuse? I mean anything that causes immense harm physically or emotionally. I cannot simply be merely hurt feelings.
What do I mean by mutual? I mean the two parties (unless polyamorous) being victims to one another's cruelty.
Does the Abuse have to be deliberate? Preferably. Although it can remain dubious. It doesn't really matter.
What sexes can be involved? I like it to be het, but I think it'd be interesting to see same sex couples involved. Because they usually avert this as well.
Do you mean you want tsunderextsundere? I try to keep away from tsunderes. I do admit to having a tsundere male fetish, but only when this is involved.
So...you want yanderexyandere? Simple. No.
What types of abuse are appropriate? Neglect, Destructive BDSM (taking an unhealthy emotional or physical toll, again on both parties), Verbal, Intimidation--anything.
Genres you don't like? Just as long as it isn't sexually explicit or a harem, it doesn't matter.
Is there a specific amount of times? Not really. I'm just not looking for a throwaway thing. It has to be seen repeatedly.

The reason these qualify and the others don't is because there are extremes abuse crawls into what mere harm doesn't. There's psychological damage and battering involved.

Although I'm making this seem incredibly melodramatic and physiological it really only needs to be as much as critical thinking will allow. I'm really just looking for two equally tortured souls. They don't have to be tortured at the same interval either or by the same thing. The abuse doesn't have to take immediate effect.

Again thank you so much.

Ah, reading your request there was only one title, that seems to be worth a try and may not even be a good match. Still ...

H by SAKURAI Machiko can be seen in a way, that might somewhat be near to some of the aspects you have mentioned.

The realtionship (not only) between the main characters is kind of like a trigger to their emotional struggles. This goes for both, yet they still don't really stay away from each other and (maybe not intentionally) this leads them, and the people around, to an awkward rollercoaster of dramatic set ups. You can find hints of abuse every now and then, while the whole atmosphere is somewhat depressing and catchy at the same time, because you are hoping for some kind of turn around and happy ending for the characters.

The way the story is told is rather calm and there are only a few scenes bringing up rushed actions, but even those are build up accurately (e.g. by the inner downfall of the character or the wish for a new path out of the whole situation). Actually I'm not even sure, if I would read this one again, but that's just because I know the outcome of the emotional twists and the heavy atmosphere. But - If you are fine with that kind of setting, then maybe this might at least be worth a glance? ^^

Thank you Yankee-chan. I'll try it.

I have found that parties depicted in such a relationship, if it's resolvable, will develop extreme dependence on one another. Sometimes becoming more unstable after a falling out. Male leads that have either been abused/taken advantage of, directly or indirectly, seem to become obsessed with the S.O that hurt them. Sometimes they cycle in and out of dependency.

Please Save My Earth Can also be a good example of deliberate and non deliberate abuse. The female lead was initially negligent of the male lead's feeling due to her being just a child herself. In another life she took the bulk of the abuse. They were both scarred. All of it could have been averted if either possessed some emotional maturity.

We are still...! It's incomplete. I don't know what to make of it right now. The main perpetrator seems to be the female. She does more damage than he does.

Something like: Sojou no Koi wa Nido Haneru Sadly doesn't fit. I read it once thinking it would, but it didn't.

wow, you really piqued my interest with that request.
As far as my memory goes right now (since i'm not that meticulous at making lists), Masca has one -if not more- couple being mutual abusive to each other (the one i have specifically in my mind comes off around at 4th-5th volume.
Also Kimi no Sei, where the girl was bullied by the male lead and becomes his girlfriend in order to emotionally torment him
Hopefully, i'll remember more of stories with that kind of premise~~

Kimi no Sei I've already read some of it before. I decided that it wasn't for me. Thank you for the rec.

I've just read Kabocha to Mayonnaise. Allowing myself to think critically, I say it's a bit of how one perceives it. There is mutual dependency.

But was it abuse?

It was a good read, thank you Sphear.

Full House and Kirai I guess.

It makes me twitch just remembering the amount of abuse they all swing at each other. This is not a compliment, but maybe it's what you're looking for so...

I think 100% perfect girl would fit? It has been a while since I read it but I remember they hurt each other so much (though I don't think it was deliberate ) even though they loved each other like crazy. I remember it was pretty mellow in the beginning, then drama and angst escalated in later volumes lol.
