700,000 men a year are victims of domestic abuse.

I am one of those men. I can sympathise with their plight. I get beaten up very regularly by my violent girlfriend.

Disgusting. Making fun out of such a serious issue isn't funny. People like you are the reason men feel helpless.

I'm not good at trolling. And you're probably not good at lacrosse at all, I'm also sorry.

Not too sure where the 700,000 figure comes from?

If you aren't trolling here then I would like to ask why haven't you left her yet? No-one should have to put up with that kind of abuse especially in what is supposed to be a loving relationship

That's a strange thing to say, is there a problem with my comment or are you trying to be funny, why on earth would you think I'm trolling? This is a serious topic, I wouldn't go into a serious thread and start trolling. What I wrote isn't even funny, clearly not an attempt at trolling.

I'm not leaving her because I love her, I need her in my life. I don't mind putting up with abuse, I got beaten up a lot growing up, by both men and women, so I'm used to it. It's not really a big deal, I accept that she's violent and that she can't control it, it's not a huge problem. There's nothing she could do that would make me want to leave her.

I also find it extremely interesting how the article states that these men often get arrested for reporting the domestic abuse that they suffer. When I reported the woman who beat me up and pulled a knife on me, somehow the tables turned on me and I was threatened with arrest and escorted off the premises, despite being the victim of a serious offense which left me traumatised! I was shocked by the outcome of that incident, it left me confused. Very interesting how sexism operates in the real world. People mistakenly think women are weak, when in fact this isn't the case at all, they're capable of doing some very bad things and can be just as dangerous as any man, if not worse. I was nearly killed that day, yet I was the one who was made to look like the bad guy by the authorities, and my abuser came out as an innocent victim who had done nothing wrong. Madness.

No; I wasn't trying to be funny; I'm actually rather concerned for you if you really are getting beaten up by your girlfriend.

Just because you got beaten growing up (which is bad enough and concerning enough in and in of itself due to the damage inflicted on your self esteem; I hope your going through some kind of therapy for that) doesn't mean you should take it as an adult.

If your girlfriend is a fully grown adult with full mental capacity then she should know that what she's doing is very wrong. Futhermore she should be able to control herself when she does get angry. She needs to take responsibility for what she's doing and preferably you would leave her until she does so.
