Have seen too many abusive relationships. My parents were in one of those. Pathetic. Many people don't realize that the abuse between two in a domestic relationship does affect everybody around them. Family, Friends, and even the co-workers.
Hmph, for the victim of the abuse (man or woman) I think they just should get out of it the second it brews/starts (whichever comes first... who knows). If they got struck once or had been put down, then they should just leave their partner, despite their "true love" for them. If their abusive partners love the victims, they would straight up and/or learn their lesson and/or leave the victims to understand that the partner doesn't give a flying **** about her/him. Either of those options would determine the outcome of the relationship- to an end or to a better change.
I know many relationships that are doomed because their fear to being alone ("I have been lived with him for three years, and this is just one of the phase. Plus, i love him too greatly to leave him! I have to give him a chance") :roll: I must admit that I don't get along with many women because many of those are ... pathetic in my opinion due to their willingness to be degraded by their partner/spouse. No guts, but at the same time, I understand them because they have lost their courage to stand up for themselves. Prehaps I am the rarity in the species of women that are too... feminist/self-confident for the opposite gender to tame. Who knows?
THose women probably would say this to me if I mention the previous message to them, "You never have been fallen in love then if you dont understand us!"... Well at least I am glad I am not in love with some abusive bastard.
I terminated many potential relationship on the accounts of emotional/verbal abuse. I don't take anybody's crap. If you accept the verbal/emotional abuse, that abuse will turn into a form of physical abuse over the times.
Don't believe me? Wait until you wind up in a hospital room.
I know I am bluntly cruel but that is the fact. the cold hard truth. Sad but true.
