bukatyne:This is the third time as far as am aware that this thread is coming up. Before anybody can say anything 'they' will come and start yapping: He's a beast He's a bastard Its not cool to hit a woman. We know all these things. What we want to find out is why they do it because whether we like it or not they do it. Let's find the reason it is done even though we don't agree with it, then maybe we can find a solution.

Talon05:This is exactly what I'm talking about. You haven't answered his question bros. And with all due respect your statement is false. There are some situations when you want to beat the hell out of the woman. Some factors can be involved. What is it that drives a sane man over the edge to raise his hand against his woman and what can be done to prevent such situations? |

No p @ Bukatyne Talon05:Congratulations on your opinion. But the question that requires answer that you are yet to provide is what is to be done in each of these situations. You are going to be married soon. Stop quoting textbook to me and give concrete practical answers. Otherwise, the sidelines will be a good spot for you. |

Talon05:Congratulations. And we are happy for your opinion. The question that requires answer is, what is to be done in each scenario. Stop quoting textbook for me and give practical answers. |

2. The nervous breakdown category re usually harmless after d deed if d right action is taken afterwards. If not they will do it again, if they feel they can get away with it. By all means do not keep this a private matter. Tell his parents n urs too. In fact during n after the beating shout n cry so hard that the neigbours hear. Be dramatic abt it, if u can do d 'u wil kill me today' thing best. When asked wat brought abt d red or black eye by neigbours, colleagues friends esp his do not tell a silly lie, say exactly hw u got it. Go to d hospital for treatment, d hosp u guys use oo, even if d bruises or pain can be managed at home. U musnt do al these, just a few that will tell mutual acquaintances hw he 'heads' d family. D aim is to shame them into never repeating it. B4 u guys finally reconcile, u guys shld visit ur counsellor at d church for therapy on how to xpress his hurt feelings n d woman shld better bridle her tongue. If after all these he breaks down n beats u up a second time. U hd better leave, d third is usually fatal. |

Nawaoooo the op asked " a physically abusive person" and not a husband. Anybody can be physically abusive be it male, female, husband, wife, brother, sister, father or mother. Lot's of women abuse their housemaids, that strong elder brother that beats up the younger sister at any slightest provocation can he really change? 2 Likes |

3. For The 3rd category. The woman shld just leave. No one shld really co-habit wit a psycopath. @freshdude n 5minmadness i bliv ur Q has been ansad. Can i nw go ahead n say dt any man hu beats his wife on acct of her tongue is just a weak insecure man who assures himself of his manhood by beating up his wife. No matter d category u try to place him under. |

Chomzy19: The basic facts still remains that the wife or ladies should understand the temperament of his man and not go all out to abuse him with her caustic words or nagging abilities Because she believes that he will not raise up his hands to beat her Because have seen cases where a very loving husband got annoyed and did slap his wife because she believes he will not beat me and I will explore this situation to mah advantage You have to understand him and know when to stop and when the man has had it up to his limit Everyone has limit and no woman should exploit that 1 Like |

Chomzy19: It's easier said than done.. ..... We have different orientation to all things What some guys will back down from.. ... Some wouldn't What some will just look at a move away.. ... Some wouldn't It's not that those guys are bad.. .... It's because that what they have known to be the norm and grow up with Best bet is for the lady to make her points know, push the button but don't take it too far, don't push him to the walls because he can react and his reaction could explode |

Anyone who hits the other person in a bid to assert their position or any weird reason they do so is just a weak and silly person If you feel your position is being threatened, the best and viable solution is to walk away as long as you are not been held down... There is no excuse for physical abuse cuz the abuser usually knows what they are doing and no matter how much they claim to have changed, the signs are always there and it will manifest sometimes when their insecurity cannot be buried..... 1 Like |
Re: Can A Physically Abusive Person Change? by dein77(m): 9:07am On Nov 11, 2014 |
It's very possible, but the abuser must be willing to change their violent behaviours. Behaviours are learned, and can be unlearned. I though this is contrary to popular opinion, but it's the truth. |

Re: Can A Physically Abusive Person Change? by 5minsmadness: 10:11am On Nov 11, 2014 |
Yes, a physically abusive person can change depending on what made such a person become physically abusive in the first place. I'm going to use husbands here as my example since it seems the thread is favouring that direction. SCENARIO 1. Some men do not enter marriage with the mind of beating their wives. However as marriage progresses and stress piles up, they become irritable and sometimes frustrated. They realise that they are no longer in control of situations as much as they were before marriage. They feel restricted and the burden of being responsible to the family and society as a married man bears down on them. Such men, if they cannot handle this stress, become perpetually angry and lash out at the slightest inclination. The situation above is further compounded when such a man marries a quarrelous wife. Coming home from a hard day at the office only to meet a ferocious tiger of a woman who will tell him he is not up to his mates because he does not have a new car, he should stop squeezing his face and provide 'chop money' for the house, he should find money to give her to buy that new high heeled shoe that costs n70k, his mother is the one disturbing them because she is a witch etc etc, will further depress his psyche and make him want to lash out. Some men might 'walk away' at this point with the woman screaming behind his back that 'he is not a man'. But some other men would have had enough at this point. He might scream at her to shut up but she'll simply scream back that he should make her shut up. The tirade will continue until the man gets physical and slaps her. Suddenly he is a physically abusive husband. Nobody wants to know how it came about that he slapped his wife, all they know is that he is physically abusive because all men are potentially physically abusive. Solution: He should talk to his wife. Let her know the way she talks to him vexes him. Explain to her how she can pass her message across without being verbally abusive. He should also learn to control his temper. Realise his wife is prone to being verbally abusive and let her know when she starts using hurtful words. Both couples should realise they are facing the challenges of life together. It is neither of them's fault that they are going through these challenges. A united front will make the challenges easier to overcome. Communication is the key. Sometimes people misunderstand what other people mean when they use certain words. A colleague of mine says 'don't be silly!' to almost everybody at the office. He means it as a joke but a new person might take it the wrong way. Communicating with and understanding your partner leads to less friction between you two. |

freshdude2: Case 1: It shows the husband has not forgiven the wife or/and always had the streak of violence in him. The man is still a violent person in my books and should be treated as an abusive spouse. I will say separation till the husband changes Case 2: The husband's punch was a result of accumulated hurt and I can relate with him. I really see no problem in this because the wife will probably stop lashing hubby. They both apologize and the wife learn the lesson that hurting hubby with her mouth has consequences Case 3: Separation till the husband changes Case 4: Same as case 3. Saying the husband is a psychopath means it does not matter if the wife is rude or not |
