So it seems that male abuse is on the rise, and it makes sense if you
take into account the fact that women are striving to be on an equal
footing as men when it comes to life in general. They want the same
jobs, the same roles and responsibilities and the same respect that men
garner. Well, they have it.
I have always thought
women have had it better than men, they don't have to approach a guy or
pay for a date, it comes to them, and they get to pick and choose. A good
man takes care of his woman, treats her well and generally goes out of
his way to make her happy. Women do this as well, but being a guy I know
it doesn't take much to make me happy, food and intimacy if you boil it
down.
I never really took physical abuse from a woman
to be an issue in a male and female relationship, guys are generally
stronger and can defend themselves without fighting back if need be, but
I just read a story the other day when a woman poured boiling water
over her boyfriend because he upset her, this woman was hell on wheels,
and he put up with her for quite some time before he finally had enough
and told police what was happening.
I always thought
it would be the psychological manipulation in a relationship, a woman
could easily beat her spouse down with mental abuse, deny intimacy,
never be happy with anything that he does and constantly is nagging him
to do more and be better, but he will never live up to her expectations.
This
is what the world is becoming, or that's what this world is and has
been for a long time, the only difference is, that now, guys are just
starting to come forward and tell their side of the story. Why is it so
hard to be nice to each other? And if you don't like where you are in
life then it's up to you to change it.
