Abuse in Relationships: "Can Men also be victims?"

Source

Hello Hivers. Today I'll be talking about how some women emotionally, and/or physically abuse their spouses/partners in Marriages/Relationships. I understand that the case of abuse is something rather sensitive, especially when it comes to some Men abusing their partners. However, in this case, it is imperative that I also mention that the victims - most of whom are widely regarded as Women, aren't completely incapable of more or the same type of ill treatment towards the same or opposite gender.

In matters of relationships, some would opine treating the case study objectively. Whereas others, in the spur of the moment, would choose to let emotions and feelings get in the way of reasoning. Having said that, it shouldn't be considered wrong when those kinds of people speak their minds, mostly because they must've been through a certain experience before believing in a concept they have come to think to be true. The concept of an abusive partner is such that can be treated as delicate, to wit, not many people takes it lightly, especially through some form of stereotype on the male gender. It goes without saying that while it is, in fact, true that many cases of abuse in relationships is caused by Men, it would be unfair to completely solidify the blame alone on them.

Below are a few of things that are considered as a ref flag for controlling female partners.

The Deprecator
It is said that women usually have their way with words. However, when they use it negatively it causes a damage that is very difficult to repair. To add to that, some especially have gone on to intentionally deprecate any attempt of their spouse towards satisfying their whatever needs and wants, which eventually drives their spouse to be heavily burdened with the emotional baggages that comes with it.

The Overreactor
I'm sure you'd be familiar with what this one is all about. Imagine a case where you're trying to explain to your significant other; (Spouse), about something they did wrong, but in some awkward way the entire situation gets reversed and you find yourself having to deal with the popular tag, "Selfishness", and before you know it they're sobbing incessantly about your irrationality and insensitivity.

The Possessive
Jealousy sometimes can be reckoned as cute, adorable by some people early in a relationship. However, it becomes a major red flag when it goes beyond what one can control anymore thereby, leading to a control unimaginable. It is Toxic and unhealthy. I am not generalising this to be, specifically, a common trait amongst women, however, if one should consider the growing percentage of a would-be Possessive partner I'd say they are more of the female gender.

Conclusion:
Amongst many Toxic or abusive relationships/Marriages today, we have constructed a certain feel about Men being the sole perpetuator therefore victimizing the opposite gender even when same can be said about them when it comes to matters as sensitive as this one. Perhaps, when all factors are considered we'd learn to rightfully, and carefully distinguish between male stereotypes and genericity.
