That would inflict violence on a woman?
Why can’t they just kill themselves first?
A good question.
However, having survived being married to a demon spawn in my first marriage, I look at many reports of marital issues with a rather jaded eye, wanting to know the "flip side of the coin".
Because while we all know there are truly evil, abusive men out there who abuse women, there are also truly evil, abusive women who abuse men.
It's just that the abuse by women is not as often the straight forward, physical abuse which is more prevalent from men. Rather, it's a long term, manipulative, undermining, pattern of degradation which is typically geared towards transforming the actual and apparent behavior of the man into something "bad" which then makes the woman out to be the victim to others.
Marital discord is rarely entirely one sided.
Does this mean that I'm in the "she probably deserved it" category?
Hells to the no.
What it means is that I acknowledge that there is quite often a lot more history that we don't know about and that most times there will be abuse going on from both sides.
It still bothers me that so many people who were adult and responsible enough to enter into a marriage cannot then turn around later and make an adult, responsible decision to end it without turning themselves into bitter, and perhaps deadly, enemies in the process.
This was sad and did NOT have to happen.
