The wife of someone very close to me was abusive. She tried to stab him silverware (forks and knives) on several occasions. The woman was a drunk and carouser. Finally, sent her packing.

"She tried to stab him silverware"

My wife tried that once years ago when I came home late from work. I had been at the tavern with some co-workers. She was lying in bed with an 8" chef knife waiting to bobbitize my frontal area. I climbed into bed and she displayed the knife, I reached over and grabbed the thing and took it from her, slicing her ring finger to the bone. That never happened again. It's become a funny story we tell now some 26 years later.

I'm thankful she didn't do to me what her sister did to her carousing husband. He came home from work one day to find his dinner ready and little did he know his girlfriend had called the wife and told her about his affair. The wife had taken the husbands fork and heated it to redhot on the stove and stuck it into the plate of spaghetti. When he stuck the fork into his mouth the fork branded his tounge and roof of his mouth. They were quite a couple.

I would suspect that a lot of men are abused because they are extremely reluctant to strike back because of inner character or legal ramifications. Suppose a wife did stab a husband with a fork or a butter knife and the husband decked her in retaliation-my guess would be that he's the one who will wind up in the squad car with a snickering cop behind the wheel.
