Wounds that never heal

The wounds of the heart and mind

Published on April 21, 2005 By Moderateman In Philosophy

I see and hear "men" that claim to never abuse their partner, but have no problem with demeaning them privately and publicly.

Am I just stupid to think that nasty words aimed at cutting your partner are somehow acceptable behavior?

To think that somehow calling my mate a bitch or other not nice names is how you keep em in line is not abuse is the mind of a delusional person and a mean spirited ass.

To crush a persons soul is much more horrid than physical abuse is what I think.

How can you say, "I Love you" and destroy the essence of your partner with unkind words and thoughts and actions?

How can a woman put up with this behavior? Why doesn't she leave?

I agree, no matter how much a person claims to love their spouse, if they publicly demean them, the "I Love You" is a lie!!

and how about all the apoligizes that follow? Oh baby I am sorry, {lie} I will never do that again{another lie} you know I love you, putting the onus on the partner.

Wow, you make a wonderful point Moderateman. A man should always respect his spouse... whether she is standing right next to him or not. And calling her a bitch when she is not around is just as degrating as saying it to her face.

The false "I love you"s she recieves from her hubby deserves a swift kick in the balls.

Wonder point. Good job.
