I feel that violence in a relationship, coming from either direction, is unacceptable. It amazes me that there are some couples out there that seem to thrive on it. If either party feels that their only option is to act or react with violence, then that relationship doesn't need to continue.

I have always been an advocate of the battered womens shelters, but I feel that there should be comparable options out there for men. There are too many cases where the man is the one getting hit, yet when he calls the police, HE is the one that gets arrested, simply because of his size, compared to the womans. It's not right, but it is all too common.

I was hit ONE time, in a relationship that I had been in for 18 months.

He hit me...I hit the floor...I stood up, called a cab, packed a bag, and moved out that night, leaving him begging for forgiveness. I went back to get my things a week later, and never saw him again after that.
