I am objecting to the fact that he's grovelling before her as if she's some minor deity. So she provoked him, he reacted a little too excessively and has already over apologised for the excess. She should either get over it or move on.

And it is not a measure of self esteem to be lowering yourself to be grovelling before your fellow human.
That's what I don't understand; are you objecting to the apologies he gave already or the extra apologies he is being urged to give?

Being able to lower yourself for the sake of somebody you have wronged is definitely a measure of self-esteem. The issue is the motivation behind it. Are you doing it because you feel that you can't survive without the person or because you understand that the other person has been hurt and you want to restore the relationship?

Personally I think that his apology should at least have been enough to prevent her from calling her people, even if she would still be frosty with him around the house.

Calling her family and packing out was the overreaction here and not refusing to accept the apology. In any situation the injured party is free to take their time to evaluate their feelings before accepting or rejecting an apology, within reason

RisenPhoenix:
The problem here seems to be comprehension. I never said she should accept his apology. I said the apologies he has made should be more than enough for her to forgive him; meaning if she's going to. Those asking him to go prostrating for her and kissing her feet so she can forgive him are asking him to debase himself and give up his self-respect. No one should be made to do that. One apology should be sufficient. If she doesn't agree, she should leave. It is not like she was entirely blameless.
Hmm...so you can refuse to apologise after a first apology doesnt workhuh Is that not a tad unrealistic?

Sometimes an apology is like a chisel and the person's heart is like an apple trapped in a block of ice...so the repeated apology will keep chipping away at the ice until you reach what you want

The problem was not refusing to accept the repeated begging. Apologising or kneeling for somebody repeatedly doesnt mean that youve given up on your self-respect. It actually takes high self-esteem to be able to do that

The problem is calling her family into the matter when she instigated the beating in the first place.

Are you objecting to the fact that he begged her and she's not responding or that people are telling him to also beg his in-laws? I read your comments but I dont understand

If she was to have beaten him for questioning her whereabouts at 2AM, you would switch the narrative.

I repeat, is the level field of physical violence the same as nagging? Evaluate that. I'm not interested in how you wish to twist that. Is it level or not?

Voicing opinion has turned to bullying. Lol. You people are such domestic violence apologists.

Have you forgotten that he should be in jail if he was to split the lip of anyone? And that he would do worse to anyone who split his lip? Yet you've created level fields on unbalanced actions to justify him.

They should sign to that so that she cannot express her fundamental right to speech while he expresses his criminal "right" to battery. Evaluate the two things carefully

. I know that Nigerians have no fundamental human rights and that is why people will equate battery to nagging and see justification in doing so. Try that in the West and report on the results.
He didnt beat her for "questioning where he was at 2AM". He didnt beat her for "voicing an opinion". He didnt beat her for exercising her "fundamental human rights". He beat her, in an impulsive fit of irritation, for getting in his face when he already told her to leave him alone.

If things were the other way around I would still be saying the same thing. The issue is not the 2AM again, the issue is the act of harassing somebody who is already trying to avoid you. You dont have any right to encroach on somebodys personal space and scream into their ears, no matter how angry you are. You dont! Its also a "fundamental human right" to live without harassment, do you know that?

The moment you do that, you have forfeited some part of your moral high ground.

You keep misunderstanding the term "level the playing field"

crackhaus:
In your haste to appear a genius, it eluded you so embarrassingly that the idea was never to equate similar situations, but instead to level the playing field and prevent against future occurrences brought on by cause & effect.
Level the playing field is using a verb whilst youre taking it as a level playing field which is a noun. The person you quoted already stated that he wasnt trying to equate violence and nagging, but youre still asking if theyre the same.

Physical violence is not "level" with nagging. But in an attempt to make things fairer, which is what "level the playing field" means, you must take into account the provocation that led to the assault.

Even if he were to go to jail, due to provocation the sentence he would receive would be less than the sentence he would receive if he had just entered the house and started beating her up.

And that "split lip" stuff is just an emotive statement because if you slap somebody on their mouth, their lip will hit their teeth and split. If you slap with the same level of force on their cheek, they wont necessarily bleed will theyhuh

So that she's bleeding or not bleeding isnt even the point here because we dont know what the damage is until we see a photograph and get a medical report.

Nigerians or no Nigerians, what youre saying is just not fair.

BRATISLAVA:
in your haste to appear a genius you are still afraid to answer: how are physical violence and screaming a level playing field ? Accept that your level field talk is pointless and stop aimlessly trying to argue out of it.
Attempting to level the playing field is not the same as stating that 2 things are on a level playing field.

He is right; if OP would sign anything then she should also sign not to bully him and then he should sign again not to come back back late and then she should sign not to call her parents over nonsense. Na sign dem go con sign o

Romance › Re: How A Prostitute, Club Girl Changed My Life by midnighter(f):
It is a lovely story...makes me consider...

The only thing they did wrong was disrespect the woman and call her names. That part was looking down on her

Discouraging their friend from marrying a prostitute was not looking down on her. But their destinies became entwined because if youre ready to sleep with prostitutes then by rights they should be good enough to marry. Water finds its level

The reason that they were in that predicament in the first place was that they were parochial and small-minded with low ambitions, choosing to spend their money on unworthy pursuits.

And another point in this story is the element of dehumanisation ... being a prostitute didnt stop her from being an intelligent, resourceful and engaging person, which is actually what helped her to marry that guy and work those contracts. She was more versatile and forward-thinking than they were, and she commanded more respect (by refusing to be treated poorly in the first instance when he neglected to tell her that he had room-mates)

If they were serious with their lives after graduating they would still have made it to Australia or wherever without having to rely on all of that.

But all in all it was an cool story to read...I often wonder about the spiritual connotations of prostitution...this profession appears a lot in the Bible for various reasons...so much tends to rely on them....they carry a lot of heavy symbolism...

The rest of you dont have any idea of what you are saying. See the comment I just quoted here now; does it make sensehuh I dont know a single Muslim who would actually say something as stupid as that in an intellectual discussion with a Christian.

I dont understand; many Muslims tend to love debating and going over the finer points of Islamic doctrine. Where are all those people who actually write interesting stuffhuh I am not seeing any

A whole front page topic about marriage, which you people say is half of your deen and you couldnt quote a single piece of scripture or write something substantial?

So none of you do "Khutbah"? Or Dawah?

Why are you people so docile? I have never known you to act like this.

So if a man just lost his tempter a slap a girl makes the man being abusive? if that your point and you are my daughter then that is where u gonna... you brought a man to me telling me he want 2 marry, before that is done you might hv known the type of person he is.. So in ur useless world a girl can break bottle on a man, insult the man parent, slap the man n if the man just lost his cool, he is suddenly abusive.. Girl you are just from your pa doing that to your ma.. People like u are most likely to be abuse daily.
Are you okay? I dont get it, you dont understand English or whathuh

I keep asking you; how do you know the girl told them exactly what happened? When we can clearly see from the OP that the woman is totally irrational?

How do you know what the parents think until they call OP to confront him?

Lol I am just laughing into my pillow...what are you summoninghuh

Somebody is potentially being beaten to a pulp and you're in your house talking about summoning. Do you know what the woman cried and cried on the phone to the parents to make them act that way?

This must be the same attitude that allowed that Onicha market to burn down when Anambra state has a fire service because I truly dont understand what on earth you are writing.

Continue claiming feminist on social network and suffer..
The people that mostly suffer from domestic violence rarely speaks out in public and rarely let their parent know, but this one call her mother who pick her son for war in alaska... why? the world women is that men are always wrong when its come to issues with a woman.
I have seen when a girl shouted thief on her bf and the folish guys that response beat the guy before she realize the guy was already been set on fire. Abusive man is abusive man. while dating you were suppose to know the person in and out and not sex upon sex.
Hahahaha now I know you are totally lost! Wetin consign feminism wey pesin wan beat me scatter huh

So according to you, because domestic violence victims "mostly" refuse to speak out in public, they should ALL zip up until theyre totally finished so that you can feel better? i dont understand what youre typing oooo

Youre just writing irrelevancies. Somebody don marry since youre talking of dating. Of what use is that observation now if somebody is truly about to die?

So you can actually leave your daughter where shes screaming and call her husband to confirm that he beat her up before you intervene? You are a terrible fellow

She call by 2am, you can't possibly go there by that time, the best is to advice her to avoid the husband as much as possible till in the morning which i will call her home with the husband knowledge and also the the if the husband refuse to come and won't let her come then i know that her life is at risk..
jumping up to my inlaw house in the morning and them telling him to stay away from them so they can take their daughter means the nxt times issues come up they might even come with weapon.

Bros take it or leave it, no responsible parent will go their inlaw house to take back the daughter base on ordinary quarrel (first time)..
I still sense motive in that action. last reply.
Lol you will call the home with the husband's knowledge so that he can beat her up more abi!

Please dont come here to tell us when you kill your daughter o! You obviously dont understand how domestic abuse works.

If somebody is truly in danger the last thing you should do is alert their spouse of your presence before he/she gets even more angry and finishes the person.

The fact that its the first time is more reason why they jumped up...next time they would know that she is not serious.

Responsible parent like you would leave their daughter in the hands of an abuser just to prove a point or whathuh hahaha

If I called my parents and mentioned anything "beating" they would even grow wings and fly to wherever I am to pick me, which is the more reason why I would never open my mouth to yarn this kind of story because I know that I would just be wasting everybodys time.

Last reply indeed! Uru ese!

Yes na...abi I should leave her there for the dude to finish herhuh Do you know what the word "beat" means? It could mean so many things depending on how you describe it.

Op say she just slap her not beat her and i said assuming what op say is the truth..
If my daughter leave her husband hers then she is in for it from me. but if issues persist and she got beaten regularly then i will get involve and if the man doesn't refrain from it then i will remove my daughter from such marraige.. She was the one that brought the man home and while dating she should have known that treat in a man.

It would be stupid for me to just go to my inlaw house and withdraw my daughter just for a small misunderstanding.
The girl could hv leave her husband home and return to her parent without the mother and brother going over to the husband home preparing for a fight.
Yes and I keep saying to you that the lady was clearly already lamenting and making a commotion which is why the mother rushed over to collect her.

WE know that its a "small misunderstanding" but we dont know what the woman told her parents; I dont know why this fact is so difficult for you to grasp.

Ive answered that already and I picked up on it because the OP will be sitting in the silence of his empty house reading all these comments and I want him to understand that what you're writing here is totally illogical.

Before he now starts suspecting his in-laws over nothing and getting agitated.

The fault is with the girl and not her family UNTIL their behaviour proves otherwise.

Judging 4rm what he said and reply, if i could listen to the girl version then the advice could hv been differ.
If the mother of the girl can go to her inlaw house and take her daughter without inviting the couple to advice them on marraige issue and how to solve it said it all.
The advice was base on the post and it was suppose 4 d gug to judge if his conscience is clear.
Exactly what I'm saying...how can you judge that the mother in law must be involved when the OP clearly explained that the woman was lamenting and crying from when he got homehuh

I don't understand where that kind of paranoid speculation can be coming from when the woman had already totally lost it since.

The mother-in-law just turned up thinking it was an emergency...imagine your daughter calling you in the small hours of the night that she's been beaten until she bled? That's how the thing will be sounding to the mother so I don't see how the girls family is at fault here.

This is an emergency and a crisis period so they had to withdraw their daughter according to the information that she gave to them...how will you expect them to be discussing, advising and mediating case in the middle of the night when everything is still hot?

That's like telling Atiku to bring out all his grievances on the night Buhari won the election. Is it not supposed to be after the dust has settled before somebody collapses?

Or you want them to leave her there?? I don't understand o

You said that if... my post was that if the guy to was telling us the truth and if that was the first time then the girl, the mother and the brother acted on a plan... if you were coming back home by 2 am and a good and well train wife will wait till morning and approach the man. No one will come bck by dat time and the first thing you receive is nagging from your wife and ur effort to calm her down was not succesful n won't loss ur cool... thats if op was telling the truth.
The bolded is the problem with what you wrote...from what the OP replied the woman has been messing up since...what I'm telling you is that you can't blame that on her family or say that it was a plan blah blah. That's just a speculation.

You can't blame somebody's irrational behaviour on their mother who is not even around except of the OP tells us something that suggests that.

How can it be a plan when they already told us that the woman locked herself inside the room, holding her face and cryinghuh She was already in the clouds by that point so who knows what she cried to her mum on the phone?

I expect the lady's mum to do the right thing and call the OP to know what happened, until then we don't know what her mother's opinion is

Bros to be frank let her go and it was their plan and they only use that slap to carry it out. if she was from a good home no parent would hv gone to their inlaw home and withdraw their daughter from her husband home.
Give her time and if they don't bring her back and apologies as neccessary get a divorce and even God will bear you witness.
Every understanding between a man and wife should be settle between them first and if it prolong then that is when either parents be involve to give out advice.
You can't conclude that she's from a bad home; you don't know what she must have been screaming and crying to them over the phone.

So if your daughter calls you by 2AM in a state of distress complaining that she has been beaten you won't fly down there and get herhuh

The only thing is that the mother should have called him by now or gone down to the house to enquire on what happened or to set up a meeting.

That's if she's a responsible mother oh
