Domestic violence is cruelty

No one has the right to abuse YOU period. There are different forms of domestic violence such as emotional, intimidation, battery, sexual, physical abuse, hurtful words, and other abusive behavior one partner uses consistently to maintain power and control over the other. Domestic violence can happen to anyone and in any kind of relationships, but it is mostly directed towards women.

Sometimes a partner is so jealous that they use isolation and restriction of freedom to abuse their partner. They want to spend all of their time with their partner preventing them to visit their friends and family members. In any social events where the abuser is not in control, they will not allow their partner to attend. The abuser might even monitor the social accounts of their victims including their emails and phone.

For any relationship to flourish there should be love between the partners. However, if down the road the love has run its course and both parties do not love each other anymore, split and let each other go their separate ways. But never resort to bullying and violence to control your partner and make them do certain things they are not willing to do, just because you want to control them. You should never hit a woman and vice versa.

People, how can someone beat up a woman, gives her some bruises and then later on, ask that same woman, let us make love and have sex. While having sex, that same man will be looking at the woman in the face and seeing those bruises he gave her and still be having that sex. The question then is, is the man enjoying the sex while seeing those bruises he gave the woman? That is disguising, despicable and unacceptable. No one has the right to beat you in any relationship. This applies to both men and women.

If someone beat you up once, and you forgive him and you stay in the relationship, thinking that he will change his behavior, you are mistaken. Then he beats you again and some women will still stay in the relationship. Many women allowed themselves to be bullied and beaten repeatedly. When you ask them, why are you still in the relationship? They will say, quote “I love him”. You do not love anyone for them to beat you up. No matter how imperfect you are in the relationship, you are not in any relationship to be beaten up by anyone. One day he will kill you. If anyone beats you in any relationship, leave that person and find love elsewhere. You can also sue your partner in court for harassment, emotional distress, and other forms of abuse. Domestic violence is cruelty.
