I have forgiven my ex fiancé for physically abusing me as I knew she was just very possessive of me. My current relationship (soon to be over) is going to be a hard one to forgive, psychological abuse leave deeper scars than physical abuse.

@SW-User I don't want to sound sexist, but for a man that can be true :/ i hope you get better soon. with or without your s/o

@cloudy you would be surprised, it’s a lot more common than you think, just a lot of cases where the woman is the perpetrator and men are victims. Usually those cases go unreported because we fear not “being less of a man” if we spoke up about it especially to other men and quite a lot of men usually kill them selves feeling like it’s the only way out too.
Domestic violence does not discriminate genders as much as a misleading society likes to.

@SW-User Totally agreed. But I just wanted to state that if you are a woman physical abuse may hurt more than psychologycal abuse. Because women in relationships are more likely to be sharp-witted to defend themselves against psychologycal abuse / phsysically weak to defend themselves against physical abuse. However, ofcourse this does not apply to all couples.

@cloudy or guys just have too much of a heart to lay a hand on a woman even if it means life or death of the man if worst case scenario and because he loves her so much he just cops it that much the pain just doesn’t bother him and just shuts up and puts up.
