No All women are not "like that" ....I have learned abuse in a relationship can come from anyone really !! It really all depends on how much you can take.... if you question your validity, your worth, your "place" in a relationship ....then your partner is not a supportive person. Most likely they grew up without support or were smothered...it seems to go one way or the other. I am women and have been married twice..... The first was an alcoholic and the sweetest guy you could ever be around. Never had a bad word to say about anyone....but did that make him an ideal husband. NO ...because after I had two sons with him. You can't have your lush of a husband watch your kids, trust him with everyday tasks or expect him to be there as a somewhat responsible adult partner in the household. My second husband is verbally, emotionally and mentally abusive...I have been with him 14 years and I will be surprised if we make it through another year. Sad too because we have three children together. But my husband sounds EXACTLY LIKE YOUR WIFE !!!! Exactly !! So abuse in marriage can go both ways. I have had people "willing to help" but my experience is their help is usually trying to solve my problems by trying to change my life to reflect the way they live theirs. One of the most important things I have learned is "your feelings are very real..... life is short...when you can't take anymore....you will step up and realize some people are just MEAN !! And...well Mean people SUCK !! I will share one other thing.... for every door that closes in life...another ALWAYS opens !! ....it may hurt for a bit ...but you will be able to "breathe" and that is priceless !! God Bless !! NOW IF I CAN JUST TAKE MY OWN ADVICE !! That my friend is always the hardest !!
