Well, much to my surprise, the conversation of violence against women<\/a> is still going on here on this site…<\/p>\n

It’s an important topic.
\nYou know, I may be a guy. And I may not be an expert.
\nBut I *do* have very strong feelings about the subject.<\/p>\n

I try very hard to understand how a person gets to look upon their spouse as a “possession” rather than a “partner”.<\/p>\n

Worse yet… when does one cross the line between love and hate? Is it insecurity? Is it guilt over their own infidelity? Is it obsession? Is it a sense of being “incomplete” in and of themselves? Is it an upbringing where there’s no repect for women?<\/p>\n

I know this sounds kind of slanted… I mean, there are such things as “battered husbands”, but I kinda laugh at those guys. I shouldn’t, but I do.<\/p>\n

The question of the day is: What makes a person love someone one day, then want to hurt them the next?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
