If mental anguish were a crime most women would be criminals...lol
Men are hit with restraining orders every single day for emotional abuse if it causes them “fear”. They are often arrested too on the same basis. It’s a standard part of the dirty tricks package for some divorce lawyers.
...because not being reported.
There is nothing to help any straight male targets. Men who seek help will lose the children and will be seen as having a mental problem.
The easiest targets are men who treat women with respect. ie you don’t hit a girl etc.
oooooooooooooooooh scawy. If they behaved and stayed zipped up, they wouldn’t have any problems, also if they would not get wasted, pick up their socks and underwear maybe they wouldn’t get “the look” and maybe they would get lucky more often which seems to be all they care about anyway. Oh and enough with the porn
Yeah, I’ll explain, just give me 100K or so of taxpayer money and I’ll research the issue for you, that’s what these “researchers” want.
If the emergency rooms saw enough of this stuff, you know it would be out there. But no, it’s women and children that show up beaten and bruised and cigarette burned.
Don’t argue. Easy. Don’t insist on your way or the highway, it’s that easy.
and how pray tell is he “paying the bills” when he is in jail?
How does he pay the bills while in jail, or after losing the job bacause he missed work before he could bond out? The court doesn’t worry about that, they just hold him responsible for coming up with the money.
If he doesn’t, thats contempt of court. And a warrant out for him.
Indeed, I know at least two men who were in abusive marriages.
Whatever...are you refuting my claim that some women are practiced at this kind of deception and that they often get away with it? The circumstances surrounding each case will likey vary but it’s pretty much the same set of tactics and stategy.
According to some, those guys should have picked up their socks, not been drunks, not cheated, looked at porn, etc. Otherwise, women would never go psycho. Everybody knows that!
I don't know. I remember in MA, there was a big push for clemency for women that with forethought and calculation, murdered a spouse in cold blood and then claimed "fear for life", while not being in imminent danger.
The RINO governor(s) caved in many, if not all cases, seven or more, iirc.
“some women are practiced at this kind of deception”
It’s rampant. They discuss it with each other openly, and advise each other what to do and say. I’ve known a few very decent women who were shocked at the advice they were given by other women during some earlier divorce.
“A member of our family had his life nearly ruined by a vengeful druggie wife who falsely accused him of violence. It took many months of legal fees to fight off the charges even though she was sent to jail twice for drugs and embezzlement.
Finally he got sole custody of the kids and then it took another year to get the restraining order on him removed.
Women/wives now have the power to ruin the life of any man..with no evidence with one phone call to 911 and one court appearance for a restraining order.
The man is assumed guilty..no evidence of violence needed..just her word.”
Just horrible. I lived with an alcoholic “borderline” girlfriend for about a year. One of the worst times in my life by far. Thousands of dollars later in legal fees, I finally got her out of my house and life.
Its been a long road back but I’m putting the pieces of my life back together. Emotional abuse is one of the worst forms of domestic violence out there.
I have a girl friend who was raised without much discipline and rules. Her mother was mean and walked all over the dad.
My friend got married to a really good guy but he was raised to be the “head of the home” (and yes, he loved his wife as Christ loved the church).
Shortly after they married, she got a speeding ticket (a BIG one) and he confronted her, not because of the ticket, but because she could have killed herself and/or others. This wasn’t her first ticket by a long shot.
After a loud discussion, he told her he was taking the keys to her car until she could learn to slow it down. They lived on a bus line and he told her to use that to get to work.
She hauled off and slugged him in the mouth and then tried to scratch his face.
Now, he was 6’4 and a big muscular guy, she was 5’2 and petite. He could have knocked her out with one hit.
Instead, he picked her up, put her over his knee, and busted her behind like she was a kid. I know, the feminazi’s would have had a fit.
He told her he wasn’t going to tolerate that kind of behavior, nor was he going to allow her to jeopardize their marriage, or put herself in danger.
This happened 24 years ago. Their 25th anniversary is in January.
That was her last speeding ticket, and her last attempt at physical violence, in all those years.
From what I understand, it WASN’T her last trip to her hubs woodshed.
I wouldn’t have believed this story if she hadn’t told me herself.
“If a man has been raised to never hit a woman and a woman beats on him, most won’t hit back.”
How true. `Never hit the girl.’ Instead, do like Frank Drebin, parry and grab both her wrists when she tries to smack you.
(Then she’ll get you with that third hand)
;^)
Know of this happening, man wouldn’t report it until his wife beat him within an inch of his life with a baseball bat. Even then he was forced to report it.
I saw a very good example back in 1982. I was a first sergeant at the time and one of my young soldiers had been arrested for domestic violence a couple times. Our CO wanted to court martial him and kick him out. The Army was making a big thing of violence against women at the time, it was right up there with drinking alcohol.
I knew the young man and couldn’t believe he’d ever hit his wife. I rode to his home one Saturday with a 6-pack to check things out. His wife was a cute little thing with very pale skin. When she saw I was there only to talk to her husband she got mad – she was being ignored. She went off and started yelling and throwing things. He said we should leave. She stood in front of the door and blocked our way. He held her arms and pulled her away from the door, we left and talked in the front yard. A couple minutes later cops shoed up, tased him and arrested him for domestic violence. His wife had bruises on her arms. I was threatened if I interfered.
I gave the CO a full report, he said he’d consider it. A week later at my morning formation another wife showed up, I told her to leave but she stormed into my formation and started beating on her husband. The CO believed me.
“What about psychological abuse? When, in every “argument” the wife threatens to call the police and take the children away”
That is by far more of the problem then physical abuse. Also, demeaning everything the husband does on a daily bases.
Maybe I am reading your post wrong. However, you wrote, “that was her last speeding ticket, and her last attempt at physical violence. It WASN’T her last trip to her hubs woodshed”. Probably just me... it sounds like he hit his wife during their 25 years of marriage.. she just learned not to hit back? Just my two cents worth but I have raised my kids to not believe in spouses hitting each other. Either sex.. However, I have also told my girls that if a man hits you once during the dating/courtship/marriage... he’ll hit you all his life.
