love is not a right that someone is forced to give. I can't think of any context where refusing to have love is abusive.

the one i gave? not wanting to have love is fine, but refusing just for the sake of proving a point or to make your partner feel bad for something is definitely conceivable abuse. it's obviously not always abuse to refuse to have love, that'd be a ridiculous claim. it'd go hand in hand with things like insulting your partner's appearance; it's definitely something that an abuser can weaponize against someone they're intimate with.
i suppose rather than "context" i should've said "intent"

Making someone feel bad to prove a point is not abuse. Especially if it's refusing to have love. Abuse would be forcing the person to have love. Anything can be considered "emotional abuse" nowadays.
Disagreeing with someone on the internet can be considered emotional abuse.
