Is domestic violence by wife treatable?

Answer 1

• Domestic violence is when someone is constantly calling you names; putting you down at every opportunity they get and physical violence is when a wife throws something at her husband; bites, kicks, scratches. If arguments ensue and most couples have them then it is better to cool off (walk away from the situation and go for a walk) then sit down and come to an amicable decision of what is wrong. Between 38 to 50 years old women can go through perimenopause to menopause (hormonal changes) and some women have it worse than others. There are natural to conventional medical ways to treat this. Also depression can occur during this time or any time in a woman's life and there are medications for that as well. See if you can't get your wife to see your family doctor for a complete physical and let her know you are there 100% for her. Don't be shocked if she lashes out that she is fine and you are in the wrong because some women truly believe this. Tell her it's either this or you are leaving. If your wife is truly violent and physically hurting you then it is highly unlikely she will go for counseling. Most men, as you know were brought up to never strike a woman so the man is in a difficult situation and often will remain silent about true verbal and physical abuse because they are ashamed of the fact that their wife rules with an iron fist and he is allowing it. No one male or female should ever live with a person that is verbally or physically abusive.
