If your husband is beating you and maltreating you, What would you do? Would you call for help or just let it pass? Will you have the courage to go to the police and tell your sad story? Or are you the type who doesn't want to wash your dirty laundry in public?

Hello there, I am that type of person who doesn't want to wash my dirty laundry in public. But for the domestic violence or abuse is an exception, as this will be directly affect my personal health and safety in long term, which I will not put up with it and let it go easily. Therefore, if my husband beat me and maltreated me, I would take the relevant precautions like reporting to the local police or calling the help line. Thank god, I married a man who is a gentleman. LOL

I always believe that we have our right and violating it like beating is not part of the agreement that we promised infront of the altar and so if it will happened then I would never allowed someone to beat me without any reason at all, i guess we have to talked face face in a calm manner then never allowed to do it again......

"I would never allowed someone to beat me without any reason"
Are you saying that if there's a reason whether it's valid or not, it will be allowed?
my dad once beat me, but that's because he found out that i was smoking, so he has his reason..But does that mean, he is allowed to beat the h*ll out of me? In my own opinion, whatever reasons they may have, it isn't right to beat somebody, more so, if if it's family or partner..
What you said is true.. there were vows made when we get married, and none of them says, that, you can beat your partner in whatever aspects it may be...
thanks for sharing, iyah....

Things happened so fast right the same way you have encountered with your Father, He slapped you because he found it out that you were smoking right? And it happened so quick and fast, what I Mean if we could talked to face to face without slapped or beating then we could prohibit the incident and I will assumed that the same incident would happened for me the same thing happened for you it was done and it was my mistake, I would not let someone to beat me without any reason that is what I mean, I hope you get what I mean......

I think that is the most difficult decision that a women has to make. women are most likely to be sentimental in life and in love that is why those tha fell in love they fell for it rather deep and that is when men do abuse this wekaness that women does. I am a man but I agree with women who would bravely go out and accept that they are abused and allow that their abusive husbands should be punished in their abusive acts.

I grew up with an abusive mother, so I know what it's like living in pain everyday with brusies and sprained body parts. It's not nice. I wish I could sue her, but I don't think there are any laws that would allow it. If I'd been an adult I could have gone away, but I could not. People don't realize how defenseless little kids are. If it were a spouse, I would definitely divorce him. In my state, abusive spouses go to jail for a long time.

Shame on you for not exposing him for the pig he is. I will not only wash my laundry, but prespot, presoak and hang it out to dry. No way would I want other women to be unable to access this information about this man.
I think you have to do something to change the abuse cycle. If you do nothing, you will find yourself in the same relationship with the same man with a different name.

ABSOLUTELY NEVER LIVE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS ABUSIVE. You can't expect that they will stop the behavior just because action was taken. In fact, you would be blamed for any disruptions in their life. You must walk away if you take action or don't bother taking that step.

Frankly speaking I don’t know. Situations change people and force them to act in strange ways…courage is something you can never measure until and unless you are in a scary situation…then you just don’t know…you can become courageous beyond your wildest imagination.
Marriage is a sacred bond and is for keeps as long as both the partners love and respect each other. Add to that the basic nature of women to be flexible to situations. So if a woman does open her mouth, be sure the provocation was extreme. As long as I don’t experience it myself (God forbid) I really don’t know how I will react.

If ever my husband will do that to me...even just once...i will surely file for divorce. I will tell him to just tell directly if he doesn't like me to be part of his life. It would be fine than hurting me physically. I believe that my rights are just equal as him. I'm blessed that I had a husband who support and respect me as a woman. He's not perfect but he's trying his best.
