humiliated and thrown out each time repeatedly
If you chew food up, you chew it until it is completely crushed."To chew up" is a phrasal verb, if something is chewed up, it has been destroyed completely. If the relationhip was chewed up - the relationship was destroyed; if the person was chewed up - his/her personality was crushed, he/she was put down, humiliated by his/her partner and,probably, still bears scars (physical or psychological).

I believe, the relationships mentioned are the man-dog relationships, between the dog and his several owners.

| Depending on the context, I believe your version is the best one. Now I realize that the relationships are the man-dog relationships. Thank you! |
