I'm now married almost 18 years and not once have I ever had to have any fear of him.

maybe if i can get my wife to join up here, she can post about her experiences in a past relationship, similar to your own.

I find nothing more disgusting than a man who has to prove his manhood by beating on a woman. To me, that is not a real man.

it's important to keep in mind that spousal abuse is not limited to male harming female, not by any stretch. There's a great deal of abuse that goes the other direction, female on male, and it is horribly underreported (exactly that issue of 'manhood' behind it, there's a lot of shame for those men who are abused) and underdiagnosed by those in community service who should know better ('a woman can't possibly abuse a man').
nothing is more disgusting than
anyone who harms another innocent person, period.
