Battered Men 101

Ubi bene ibi patria
Are You in an Abusive Relationship?

"Whenever I speak of male abuse, I am met by disbelief, and even worse, laughter. ... I notice in talking with other shelter staff throughout the state that this attitude prevails in the other shelters too, men are the perpetrators, women are the victims." (J. Dimmitt)

According to this:
Look more closely--at your relationship. Do you dread "talks" with her? Does your pulse rise and your mind become foggy at the mere thought of a disagreement or conflict with her? Will you do anything to avoid the conflict and keep the peace? Do you have inexplicable aches and pains, or tenseness, and are these worse when you're around her? Do you have panic attacks at the mere thought of conflict, or mere thought of being with her? Do you find yourself looking for a lot more "alone time"? Does being alone seem a lot more calming and appealing than spending time with her?

I wanna be a SMIB
Men should be seen and not heard and do as they are told. I got mine barefoot in the kitchen cooking me up some grubb. And he will fan me and feed me grapes when I get home. This of course is after he works a 12 hr day and gives me all his money.

Was your last divorce your idea or his?

Reminds me of two Jackie Mason jokes (which are probably recycled Henny Youngman jokes).

"Why do Jewish men die before their wives? They WANT to"

"Why are Jewish divorces so expensive? They're WORTH it".

:lmao: Too many Jewish men forget the proverb "It's better to live on the corner of a rooftop than have a quarrelsome wife."

Not every man. I enjoy a good battle of the wills with Mrs Toxick from time to time. Sometimes people just need to clean their claws.


Plus if you never fight, you never get to have make-up sex.



Or angry grudge-#### sex.




Hm.


I think I'm going to stir up some #### tonight. :evil:

How appropriate

Maryland women :larry:


Three men were sitting together bragging about how they had given their new
wives duties.

The first man had married a woman from Iowa and had told her that she was
going to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple days, but on
the third day he came home to a clean house and dishes washed and put away.

The second man had married a woman from Illinois. He had given his wife
orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes, and the cooking. The
first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better.
By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done, and food
was on the table.

The third man had married a girl from Maryland. He told her that her duties
were to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed
and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't
see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day
some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left
eye, enough to fix himself a bite to eat and load the dishwasher.

Funny thing happened on the way JAIL

IN passing that battered woman law back in the 90's / late 80's ....... where if the police answered a call about domestic abuse, no matter the party someone's going to JAIL for the night - after years of Cops looking away while men abused there SO's ........

it was all big news when the law passed ( and I am not saying that there was no problem - it was / still is ) but when the statics started piling up it seems more women :whistle: were being hauled in for beating up drunken, cheating husbands, with Frying Pans, Rolling Pins, Cutting 'em up when paring knives, you get the point ......... that the news media quietly dropped the issue - seems womens groups NOW that hailed the new law, were suddenly embarrassed to find woman were as likely or more likely to grab up Cast Iron Skillet and whack the 'ol man upside the head ........

Reminds me of something I heard this financial expert say on TV one time:

"My wife is from Tennessee, where fryin' pan throwing is an Olympic sport."

My family is from there and it's the dang truth. :lmao:

"Cause I dug my key in to the side of his pretty little souped up 4wd
Carved my name in to his leather seats
Took a Louisville Slugger to both headlights
Punched a hole in all 4 tires
Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats"

"She met me at the front door when I came home last night
With the Good Book in her left hand,
and a rolling pin in the right"

Maybe they just need to ban Country Music?
