while you scream at your man, there is a woman out there wishing she could talk softly to him while you humiliate, offend and insult him, there is a woman flirting with him and reminding himhow wonderful he is while you hurt your man, there is a woman wishing she could make love to him while you make your man sad, there is a woman stealing smiles from him.... put an end to domestic violence!!! Ladies in the house, what do you think about domestic violence? what measure are you putting in place to minimize it if not to eradicate it in the society. Give me your vies, because it goes a long way to help other homes

I think your poem should be the other way around as women are most often the victim of domestic violence rather than men. Women should not and never to allow their husband to inflict any physical harm on them. The moment that they allowed it to happen once it will happen again the second time and the third time. Women should not be totally dependent on their spouses especially on the financial matter. They should have their own way on finding money for the family. They should stand on their rights and never to be afraid to fight for it. Never to allow anybody to make them feel worthless. The moment your partner start abuse say goodbye to him before it is to late for you.

I know of a couple who are now separated because the guy can no longer endure the humiliation done by his wife. Every time his wife thinks that the husband has done something, she will quarrel with him and this also includes his boss and office mates which makes it much more humiliating for him. He endured this abuse for more than ten years and it was the wife who had the guts to walk out on their marriage. There should always be communication between partners. Because if the communication breaks down, then there is no way for the couple to fix their differences.

I remember before my parent used to discuss a lot at home and they would sometimes be yelling at each other. As a child I was really afraid and everytime I would ask my elder sister and brother if mom and dad gonna separate, they told me that in couples this is very common. With time I was used to all these and then gradually when they turn older they are more romantic now so I understood that if a couple wants to survive then they got to make a lot of commitments in their marital life too. They should be talking a lot to each other, Communication is vital and primordial, then understanding, they should read a lot to become aware of many things they are not with. Activities after work should be done at home with the children.

Domestic violence is a terrible thing, but i think a lot of people think of it as women who are hurt by it, and think men are not in danger from been abused by their wives/girlfriends. I don't think enough is done about domestic violence in the law, it is very hard to get a conviction from it, if the police are called about a man and woman screaming at each other, they don't class it as anythign serious and just a "domestic", it isn't until there is serious damage done, the police won't do anythign about it.

Well, I just threw my man in the garbage can about a week ago. Any takers? Seriously, we know that one mans trash is another mans treasure or women in my scenario. But some mans are worthless. And I personally prefer to be single then with a man that doesn't know how to appreciate me.
