Domestic Violence Is Not an Option

We see acts of violence everyday on TV or even in front of our eyes. Mothers beating up their children for not being obedient or husbands that slap their wives in front of their own kids. The cause of domestic violence may be the lack of money because of the financial crisis, alcohol, and it can also appear when unfaithfulness settles in.
Usually after a “good” fight, the agressor says that he`s sorry or that he didn`t mean it. This is why domestic violence keeps on repeating in certain families or couples when the ones who hit were forgiven for too many times. Domestic violence not only ruins marriages, but it can also ruin futures or endanger lives. It often happens that the one who was beaten up will even accept humiliation in the future and do things just to please the other one, in order to avoid other episodes of domestic violence.

Domestic violence occurs in every sort of couple: hetero couples, gay or lesbian couples. It is universal if you want to call it this way, and I personally think that men who use force in order to be respected should be ashamed of themselves, because there are many other ways to be respected, but in order to be so you have to prove you deserve it.
Domestic violence doesn`t mean only punches, slaps and kicks, it also reffers to bad language. You can offend and hurt somebody without beating him or her up only by using words that have the same impact on somebody. I also think that when it comes to domestic violence, it is highly annoying and wrong for you to kiss the one you love and punch him a few minutes after that.
Sometimes episodes of domestic violence may occur when a partner sees in the other partner something that he doesn`t want to or can`t turn into. For instance, in a straight couple where the woman is rich and has a brilliant career, while the husband is still an accountant, domestic violence can occur whenever the frustrated man grabs a bottle of gin and starts pouring it down his throat, after which he hits his wife only because she managed to find her way through life and he is still trying to do so.
Now you may ask yourself how can domestic violence begin, what are the “symptoms” of domestic violence. Well, it can all begin when the other one breaks things, becomes extremely possessive, aggresses you verbally or starts to throw objects at you. It`s a single step from this to slapping you, so maybe you should reconsider whether you`ve taken the best decision when you chose to continue the relationship.
In the end, if you`re a victim of the domestic violence, you should firstly get away from the one that abused you and make sure he won`t find you. Secondly, it may help if you called a domestic violence line where you can share your problems and get help and support. Remember that even if he cries, apologizes and tells you he won`t hit you again, he didn`t  have the same attitude before breaking your jaw.
