Battered Men in Relationships

Women Who Abuse Good Men


Husbands are battered as much as wives and are in abusive relationships and feels trapped.
"Why do we protest domestic violence against women and not even know about violence against men?"

"Woman abuse is a growing public health and social concern. An estimated 25% of Canadian women have experienced violence at the hands of current or past marital partner since the age of 16. The effects of woman abuse can result in a combination of negative physical, emotional, and psychological health outcomes."

More often than you can imagine men suffer silently from their companion's emotional, mental and even physical abuse because like most women in relationships there is a weakness that is hard to overcome and the women know this and will use it to their advantage. A husband may chose to remain in a relationship for the kids, fear of loneliness, shame of failure, lack of self confidence or even because he truly have great love for his wife or companion.

Victims of domestic abuse are not  restricted to women as commonly viewed..  According to statistics 835,000 men are abused or attacked by their wives, girl friend every hour and  this numbers may be even much higher.This is very real and most men have kept such abuse a secret for years because of  shame or even making excuses for their spouses. Men have been, stabbed, shot, slapped, kicked and even in  some cases result to permanent injury or death, but the sensation of this happening to women get's more alarmed.  The law of the land term to influence and favor women by assuming that the male is always the aggressor. Women know this and they take full advantage of this.When a man touches a women - he is charged with felony, but a women beat the heck out of a man, she is viewed as the victim. There are protective laws against any form of violence but sadly applied consistently.

Relationships expert and Spiritual Counselors encourage men or victims of abuse to seek help immediately to avoid a cycle that may result to tragedy. As a victim of domestic abuse, here is a recommendation to help with the issue.

Battered husbands have historically been either ignored or subjected to ridicule and abuse. In 18th-century France, a battered husband "was made to wear an outlandish outfit and ride backwards around the village on a donkey" (Steinmetz & Lucca 1988).

Various forms of Abuse and what to look for.


Physical - includes bodily harm, discomfort or injury including hitting, punching, slapping, kicking, pushing, burning, biting, torture, restraining, assault with a weapon, withholding of food and/or medical care, and/or murder.

Verbal - is the use of vexatious comments that are known or that ought to be known to be unwelcome, threatening, degrading, offensive, and/or embarrassing.
Psychological/Emotional - is any act that provokes fear, diminishes the man's dignity or sense of self-worth, and/or intentionally inflicts psychological trauma as a means of exerting power and control over the man.
Emotional or psychological abuse can be verbal or nonverbal. Its aim is to chip away at your feelings of self-worth and independence. If you're the victim of emotional abuse, you may feel that there is no way out of the relationship, or that without your abusive partner you have nothing. Emotional abuse includes verbal abuse such as yelling, name-calling, blaming, and shaming. Isolation, intimidation, and controlling behavior also fall under emotional abuse. Additionally, abusers who use emotional or psychological abuse often throw in threats of physical violence.
You may think that physical abuse is far worse than emotional abuse, since physical violence can send you to the hospital and leave you with scars. But, the scars of emotional abuse are very real, and they run deep. In fact, emotional abuse can be just as damaging as physical abuse—sometimes even more so. Furthermore, emotional abuse usually worsens over time, often escalating to physical battery.
Economic/Financial Abuse is the misuse of an individual's money or belongings by another individual. Economic abuse includes, but is not limited to the withholding and/or restricting of money needed for food and/or clothing; denying the right to seek and/or maintain employment; taking personal money; denying independent access to money; and/or excluding the victim from financial decision-making.
Victims of abuse in all its forms - verbal, emotional, financial, physical, and sexual - are often disorientated. They require not only therapy to heal their emotional wounds, but also practical guidance and topical education.

Which ever categories you fall on is something that must be addressed. You do not have to subject yourself to such conduct especially if there are children involved. Get help now.
