A couple of years ago, I was going out with this girl who was extremely possessive. At first, I thought that it was cute, but as our time dating progressed, it became extremely off-putting. The relationship finally dissolved after she knocked me unconscious and left me at a park for four hours. I had temporary retrograde amnesia, and I was questioned by officers, but I couldn't bring myself to reveal to them what happened. The onIy person I told was my brother, who is my best friend, but he laughed at me and told me that if I allowed a girl to beat my ass, then I deserved it.
I guess that I am revealing this because of a video (posted below) one of my professors presented in class yesterday. I began to become uneasy, and I just stormed out of the room. I realize that I need to talk to someone about this, but I'm just too embarrassed of the potential ridicule. Anyways, do you think that males can be victims of domestic violence?

Men can ABSOLUTELY be victims of domestic abuse! Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise and there is absolutely no shame in you seeking help for what happened to you. I feel so sad that you even have to ask this question and are afraid to get help. Your brother should be the one feeling shame for not being supportive of you in the least!

Very interesting topic looking forward to seeing what some of the members think

[satellites.™]

Yes of course.

Now wait a minute, see I would have had to retaliate.

Sorry you went through that. And yes, males can be in abusive relationships as well but sadly those situations are rarely taken serious. Women beat on men quite often and though I'm against a man ever physically harming a female, sometimes people snap. One can only take but so much. But before it even gets to that point it's just best to leave the relationship, because as soon as the man hits back, then he's the one that ends up in jail. It's just not worth it. Everyone needs to keep their hands to themselves.

Of course men can be victims of domestic violence. This isn't brand new information either.

You shouldn't feel ashamed or embarrassed that it happened by a woman. Would you sleep any better if it was a man that beat you up?

I hate it when women want to be equal and then want to act like they're too weak to beat a man's ass when the male victim tries to point fingers.

[Thisisit]

Of course. Anyone who doesn't is a moron.

[Taste of Honey]

Yes. I went through it as a child/teenager at home so I'm very acquainted with the fact that it is very real.

[i spit on haters]

I wouldn't blame him if he hit her back. She wouldn't handle me like that, wouldn't have been me.

[Last Boy on Earth]

Yes I do, my parents had a friend that his wife would beat the **** out of him, it's equally as disgusting as the other way around

[Thisisit]

The video is horrible. This is why it's stupid to say "men should never hit women" sure under any normal circumstances, but that guy would be perfectly justified in beating the **** out of her.

[jayyyxtee]

Is the violence ever justified? Is it ever okay to harm your partner?
Self defense perhaps?

I wish a bitch would.

Take me to church.

[KoreanDream]

Of course. Domestic violence and abuse goes both ways, and it's equally horrifying either way.

Lord knows I am not one of those women.

[MusicLoverDude]

Indeed

Domestic violence can go both ways.

It will happen to gay couples too. SO yeah.

What happened to you is horrible and you deserve to tell someone.

[i spit on haters]

And you should have pressed charges or got your cousins Laquisha & Tay Tay to pay that bitch a visit to whoop her ass. SOMETHING. She wouldn't have gotten away with that if it was me.
