| I'm tired of it. She only gets away with it b/c I was taught to "never hit a girl." However, there are times I really just want to floor her when she throws punches. Instead, I just walk away. |
| You need to leave this abusive relationship. |
| Um, is there a question? |
Man or woman I'd give the same advice. |
Yes, you need to leave. I'm sorry you're going through this. |
| Just leave (her, not the room). |
| Document and divorce. |
|
This is physical abuse, OP.
Have you contacted the National Domestic Violence hotline? Please consider giving them a call. 1?800?799?7233 |
| Unacceptable. Please do not retaliate. Document and leave. Are there kids? Is she hitting them? Is it possible she might? |
| My friend, 6'2 190 lbs. was hit by his girlfriend but was afraid to do anything because he feared looking weak. Get out. Your wife is a psycho who needs help. |
|
If you continue enduring your wife's abusive antics, sooner or later you won't just be able to walk away from her. The day will come when you reach your threshold for being calm + you will strike back.
Either tell her to get counseling as well as sign up for an "Anger Management" course or pack your bags tonight. If you stay, this will not end well. |
|
Get out. Pack your stuff and go.
If you aren't "there" yet, then please start working on an exit plan. Determine where you can go. Who can you trust? Call the Domestic Violence Hotline. This is abuse, and it's unacceptable. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. |
| We have a friend who was in the same situation. He was very masculine and a big dude, and I admire him for now we hitting back, but he was abused by his ex wife verbally and physically. She was psycho. Get out. |
You absolutely should do this, OP. Do you have children? If not, this group can help you put together an safe exit plan, but you have some easier options. If there are children involved, things get a lot more complicated. Unfortunately, men who are abused face a high risk of being accused of abuse themselves when they try to leave, and since, statistically speaking, men are far more likely to be physically abusive than women, women making false accusations ae given a far greater benefit of the doubt than their abused husbands. Thus hotline will help you put a plan together to bolster your case against your wife for custody. |
| Go get a protective order against her. She has no right to hit you. She can be forced to take anger management classes. Start making an exit plan too. Consult a divorce lawyer. |
