Opinion or Fact my bf is verbally abusive and it breaks my heart
I think its both but im not sure
subliminal messaging

if someone truly loves you they will not want to do anything to hurt you in anyway

Explanation:

it is gonna hurt and its not gonna be easy but it is better in the long run if u get away from him. he sounds toxic. and u don't need that no one does

i'm not sure i completely understand your question, but i will do my best.

i think the answer you are looking for is sequence. (see below)

a repeated melodic fragment would be best defined as repetition, while repeated chords (different or the same) could be a chord progression. however, you then mentioned the chord and melodic fragment beginning on higher or lower pitches, in that case, the answer could be best defined as a sequence. the definition of a sequence is as follows: "the restatement of a motif or longer melodic (or harmonic) passage at a higher or lower pitch in the same voice."

let me know if this !
