I suspect that having a mother with that sort of attitude probably helped me avoid being in that position.

Benedict, Many thanks for your excellent link, as I\’ve said, 1 in 6 men can find themselves attacked by women. Agree with your comment about Nanette and her sound advice – it\’s easier said than done when you are in that position.

Re Nanette, Sound advice. Very sound advice.

Here in the US and woman is more likely to be murdered by the man she has shared her bed with than by a stranger. She is also more likely to be killed by her partner when pregnant or when she leaves her abuser. My mother’s advice was two-fold:
1) the first time a man hits you it is his fault but the second time is your fault if you are still there,
2) remember if he ever hits you that he will have to sleep at some point in time and I gave you a cast iron frying pan for a reason.

Ellee, “Let’s hope our jails are never too full for the viscous bullies who beat up women.”

*cough*
Could I refer you to this article of mine:

Men are beaten at home as well, as are children by women (and men).

not only that but “domestic violence” also occurs in same sex couples. In fact rape seems far more common.

I don’t completely agree with CityUnslicker here. Yes, there is the weak man who is violent and the man who systematically beats on the woman but there are also many ordinary men the woman knows how to provoke. She pushes and pushes until he explodes – I’ve known many cases. I even asked one such woman about this and she said he [the husband] didn’t do as she wished, didn’t listen to her and so on. That’s a bad scene in itself. But she readily admitted to provoking him. Best thing to do is walk out for a day or two but some don’t.

The discussion has centred around violence. What about emotional and psychological abuse?

Thanks for noting my typo. I meant to repost it, or edit, but I didnt want to stuff your blog around. A rapid rabid rat might be even nastier!

Kevin – You can write lines for this lack of time management.
