beat like a dog

who can't read music. To be held to a standard you know nothing about or is impossible to meet, and to be constantly punished for not meeting that standard. A form of spouse abuse. The abuser uses Mr or Ms Wonderful as their standard, and average isn't good enough. A sign that a marriage is terminal.
I'm being beat like a dog who can't read music, and I don't know how much more I can take.
