Ive counselled this, Linda. It's much, much more common than people think, or than men ever let on. A difficult subject tackled well.

So sad and much too often true. Men tend to remain silent. Heart wrenching write, Linda.

Yes I was abused by my ex, and found no refuge.
I felt no-one would belive what she put me through, and felt my man hood deminish..

Well said.

Very Powerful write Poet!!! Any form of spousal abuse is wrong. It is such a shame that as an educated Nation and people we still have this happening. More often than not, yes you are right, it goes without being reported for many different reasons. Thank you for posting this absolutely incredible write, Poet!!!

Your friend,

Yes, it does happen. And it's much more difficult for men to speak up/out against the abuse. They're supposed to be strong/tough, right? What a shame we bow to societal conditioning... Excellent write, Linda. Thanks for speaking up for the men.

Hugs,
Tami

My X-wife had a bad habit of throwing hard objects towards my head, like glass ashtrays, coke bottles, etc. ashtray got me on the forehead one time. She always burnt the food, cussed, drink, you name it. I was good to her until she finally ran off and threw things at another husband. Best thing that ever happened for me, is when she left.
Sad this goes on for men & women both.
Great write Linda.....

So many put up with so much.
Life can be so sad.
It is such liberation when one finally leaves the abuse.
Thanks for sharing this.

There are many stories of women who do not report abuse from fear and embarrassment. One wonders how many men do not do so for the same reason.

This is true Linda, it does happen and nothing is ever really told from this point of view. You did an excellent job in showing the other side of the coin. I still believe though, there is no excuse for anyone to abuse anyone else, be it man, woman or child. Thanks for sharing this great write.
