Domestic Violence against men: Is it a problem or not?

Domestic Violence against men, Is it a problem, or is it not a problem. What do you think?

I am 33 years old as of right now. This happened to me when i was 27. I was dating this girl that was much younger than me. I started seeing her when she was 18. At first things were great.. We did have our differences, things like she absolutely hated porn, and anything related to it. So i had to stop that, but otherwise it was good. I helped her move out of her parents house, I helped her get her first job, and i felt like i was being good to her.

About a year in to the relationship things went kind of crazy, I mean like "Here's Johnny" Crazy. (Hopefully you get the Shining reference, If not watch the movie, you won't regret it.) It started with her starting arguments with me when i watched a movie with her, and there were sex scenes in it. She would get angry with me when i didn't look away and look at her. One time she started screaming at me because of it. It got to a point where i would never go to movies with her. Later she started controlling weather or not i masturbate. She literally told me that i was not allowed. She considered it to be cheating. Her reasoning was that she could not be sure i was thinking about her when it was happening. This all came about because she caught me once.

After that i am guessing she had nothing more to control, but she was so convinced that i was cheating or doing something behind her back that she started snooping through my email, My phone, my texts, and eventually she committed a felony, by breaking in to my company corporate email.

It all came to a head about a week before i cut her out of my life (Keep in mind here, I have never once hit her, nor would i ever have hit her). I was with her in this store called save a lot. We had about 200 dollars worth of groceries (Huge cart full) and we were checking out. I struck up a conversation with the check stand lady, because i was bored. It was not flirtatious, it was not me hitting on her, it was just me mentioning the weather, and how i dont know if i could do her job.. It was literally two sentences. We were done, and walking out to my Chevy blazer, she tripped me. She started kicking me in my ribs and head screaming that i was a worthless cheater, and a worthless man. I'm in a fetal position, bleeding from my mouth, my nose and my ears crying for her to stop.. Its in broad day light People saw it and walked on. Honestly i am not even sure how i got home.

About 5 days later i call her brother, and have him assist me with getting her stuff moved back to her parents while she is at work. Her brother went to her work and informed her that her parents needed her to come home for the weekend. She called me, and i explained to her that she was moving home, She had no choice in the matter and that all of her stuff had already been moved. I also informed her that the locks had been changed, and that her brother was kicking her up from work, and if she attempted to take my vehicle anywhere she would go to jail for grand theft. She started screaming at me and saying she was going to kill me. Later that evening she somehow had convinced her brother to let her come by to say good by to me. I stupidly answered the door, and she hits me in the face with a broken, sharpened pool cue. When she did this, she sliced my face from the right side of my face next to my nose to the right side of my mouth.. I was bleeding badly and feeling sick from it.

My neighbor called the police and made a statement. I went to the hospital, i had 10 Stitches (some internal dissolve kind). It was explained to me that i was lucky that i didn't get sent to jail. I asked why. The police literally said to me, "You must have done something to deserve it." I was not allowed to press any charges, i had $4,000 of medical bills that i had to pay for because of it. When i asked support, i was told that i was a wuss for letting her hurt me like that, and that i am a man, i must have been asking for it. Bottom line for me, There was no help for me, There was no support for me, and no one believed me. It was almost as if as a man, i simply did not matter. I almost swallowed the red pill because of this and became MGTOW, i was PISSED.

Later when i was just three or 3 months shy of 30 i met my wife whom is someone i cherish and trust implicitly. Someone that has not one single violent bone in her body and would never hurt me..

I tell my story because i honestly want to know why there is such a double standard in society. Every one i have spoken to has outright told me that women are always the victims, and men simply cannot be anything but the offenders.

What do you guys think??



Thanks for your time.

  • Sucks; the double standard " Had you gotten up and decked her in the grocery store parking lot, you'd have been arrested. I had a girlfriend who broke through a set of French Doors that were locked to get to me upstairs, but nothing physical happened. My cousin had a chick chase him down the street where he was getting on a bus, and she chased the bus, beating on the windows and got him at the next stop. Nothing physical happened there either, but she got the leather jacket she came for. Wacky broads. They're out there. And you did the right thing for yourself, ultimately, because you would have been tagged as an abuser and had your ass arrested and in jail. And, despite feminism, that double standard exists.

  • I want you to know that YOU ARE A GOOD MAN!!!
    My picker is broken so I pick men that have the same mental capabilities. No they don't have a mental illness but will try to find a way to blame it on you and an illness.
    I had to learn how to fight in my marriage. Walking away was not an option. I'd much rather walk away and keep my mouth shut no matter what they say to try and puss me off.
    Once my ex husband backed me into a corner and tried to get me to have sex. YOU DONT BACK THIS CRAZY REDHEAD INTO A CORNER!! PERIOD!!
    I don't know how I did it but I beat his ass. He was begging me to call it even. He had been manipulating me from day one. I truly believed if I showed this mf love then he would see the good and change. I HAVE NEVER BEEN SOOOO WRONG!!
    I had litteraly sold my soul to the devils biological son. He beat me holding out 2 week old son. I was good to this mf bc I was raised that way. I was hardheaded and didn't listen to EVERYONE in my family when they said NO Whitney. I was young and he was older so he knew he could get away with beating me bc I didn't want to send him to jail. Well that time I took up for myself I ended up running down the rd to my neighbors half dressed bc he was trying to rape me. They called the cops and he went to jail. The law was on his ass so bad that he actually packed his shit and moved to Wisconsin until things settled down. He has 6 different domestic cases with just me. In Louisiana if there is a domestic fight then both of you go to jail. I had to receive medical attention so they didn't arrest me. They called it self defense. His mom had to come get me from the ER 3 sperate times bc I was to ashamed to call my family. When they seen my face all black and blue it was embarrassing. I don't have a violent family but I do have family that will shot a mf in a heart beat.
    I was 19 with 2 step kids and I do live with mental illness that was not being treated at the time. I never talked to other guys. I always had house clean and supper cooked. I never asked for anything. I am one of those people who don't want anything but what is a basic need. He would buy me houses and cars to suck up and pretend he was sorry and he changed.
    Money don't mean shit to me anymore!! Yeah I need bill money but as long as they are paid I'm good. I don't shop for anything but food. My sister ia always giving me clothes for myself and the boys bc our kids are same age.
    This mf NEVER had a reason to hit me. I didn't give him one. He would just get mad and take it out on me then turn around and say I love you. Took me 9 years to see that he wasn't going to change. I felt so empty inside that I started to believe him when he would call me worthless. I never said anything negative to him to defend myself. I hate drama and when your angry you say things you regret. Keeping my mouth shut keep the arguments short.
    He is on wife #4 now. I don't feel like I should warn these women. I did wife #3 but its so obvious when your on #4 that its not the ex its you.

    • But look at me now! LOL

    • yeah violence SUCKS
