[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really, no one has asked what OP did to provoke her husband's taking of the keys? No one is defending his right to do so? No one is asking why OP is such a wuss and overreacting to such a silly, trivial occurrence? Good thing he didn't lunge at you and spit at you, OP, otherwise people would be asking those questions.[/quote]

[b]People do not "provoke" controlling behavior or violence.[/b]  There is no excuse for such behavior.

Perhaps you are referencing another thread and being ironic.[/quote]

That's just demonstrably untrue. If I kick a dude in the nuts, and he punches me in the nose, I have provoked violence. [/quote]

No, in that example you've actually instigated the violence. [/quote]

So, making fine distinctions between "provocation" and "instigation" is what you're going with? Fascinating.

O.k., let's say I pretend I'm about to kick a guy in the nuts and he punches me in the nose because he believes that's what I'm trying to do. Now I've "provoked" instead of "instigated" if there is a difference. [/quote]
