moved into the barracks and filed for divorce, it was the safest thing for my carear. In our culture a man hitting a woman is rightfully seen as abuse but the opposite is rarely true. Most men that I know were taught to never hit a woman. Many attacks on men by women aren’t forcefull enough to damage anything more than the psychy of the male. I was in an extremely masculine world. What 24y/o would admit that his 100pnd wife hit him, especially to his Marine Corps friends? Even though my close friends knew how bad her temper was they didn’t even know how bad she really was.
I have also seen cases of physical abuse in patients. 1 stabbing and one assault with a baseball bat. Both these guys admitted it was their significant others but made me promise not to tell anyone else. I guess if I see this amount in my microcosm of this world there is alot more out there.
What I don’t understand are the men who are abused and don’t leave. If she is willing to hit you, she is willing to do anything. I think it is becoming more commonplace as women see violence as an end to a means.
Most of the abuse cases I see are older people with dementia. They aren’t good at hiding it.
The days of the poor defenseless woman are over. They are brawlers now.
I was a victim of domestic abuse by a woman from beginning of 2009 through mid 2010. She was an alcoholic who liked to hit every now and again (about three months apart usually). She was small so she never really injured me, but there was a pride injury, and an injury to our relationship. Finally, in April 2010, I called the law.
WOW does THAT sound familiar. Her name wasn't Angie, was it?
In my case she used a combination of threats and appologies. She told me that she would call my C.O. and tell him all sorts of things, all lies and all cruel. When I did leave her she called my Senior Chief and told him I was cheating on her, thankfully I was on duty at one of the times she accused me of. She did enough damage to my reputation, my credit score and my savings. and this was all within a year. And she got the last laugh, while applying for an annulment in order to get married again, she lied to the priest who was doing the investigation resulting in the ending of my engagement. You cant prove you didnt do some things years after the fact. Really, I should have listened to my grandma who told me that “Welsh women the only thing worse than Irish women”
nope, but the sad thing is, if she walked into my office right now I would probably make all the same mistakes again!
Since we’re telling war stories I thought I’d share.
When we were dating my ex and I never had a problem. She’d had a past and that should have been a “clue” but everything was great. Until we got married. 3 days later I was attacked and for the next 12 years it was hell on earth. The only thing I found to keep out of jail was, when the SHTF was to leave. I’ve slept in my truck in the woods more times than I could count. The final straw was when she was drunk, 40 miles away with her family and her Mother called and said my wife was coming home to “whip my ass”. I told her that she might be headed this way but she certainly wasn’t gonna whip my ass. Mom in law says “you better stay away from her you SOB” 40 miles away, she’s coming to whip my ass. And I better stay away? So, I left with what I was wearing and never went back.
I will never date again. All women are evil.
Are you completely insane?
I now have a Zero Tolerance Policy for what I like to call Crazy Woman S—t.
I’ll never be married again but I have dated several women. I just dumped a woman for something that most would deem minor. Whatever. Most seem to have what could be called for the lack of a better term “Princess Syndrome”. I’m pretty sure it comes from how they were raised. On the other hand, maybe they were just born bat shit crazy!
“Don’t argue. Easy. Don’t insist on your way or the highway, it’s that easy.”
Well, no. If you don’t respond then you’re “not listening”. If you do, then you are taking someone else’es side or you are telling her she is “stupid”.
My new “my way or the highway” attitude has kept me out of jail. It also seems to keep women somewhat civil. Until the inevitible time, usually about 6 mo’s or a little less, that they can’t keep their little inner “Princess” locked up anymore.
A good friend, who’s wife was killed in a car accident years ago, just married a woman who he’d been dating less than 1 mo. She has 2 small kids. Her husband committed suicide 1 year ago. I just pray that my 6mo rule of thumb is wrong in this case.
What do you think? Do you think it may be a possibility that her relationship with her husband just might have had something to do with his death? I certainly hope not. But, 1mo is kinda a short time to get to know someone....
Your friend is a moron
If the roles of Tiger Woods and his wife were reversed, and it was him coming at her with a golf club over her infidelity, would you feel exactly the same way ("no sympathy")?
Cool. In the meanwhile, this is a thread about psychotic, violent women (do you deny they exist) who use the legal system to get men in trouble.
How do you know that?
I would think that the experiences of the people on this thread (read the whole thing) would indicate that it DOES happen, and not infrequently.
I know that because of the work I do
You can add me to that list.
I was raised never to hit a woman, and I never have. I have dodged plates and pans, and when I grabbed her wrists one time to keep her from hitting me, she leaned in and gnawed a chunk of flesh out of my wrist (I still have the scar).
No, I never reported it because I didn’t consider myself seriously hurt and I still loved her up to the point where she threw me out because she “wasn’t feeling fulfilled”.
Most guys won’t report it, but it happens a lot.
In that case, go after the other dude instead.
You're avoiding the question.

“Your friend is a moron”
I kinda thought so too. But, he’s 45 years old and has always had pretty good judgement. His kids are grown a moved out. He was lonely. Hope it works out, we’ll see.
