OK, society - how would YOU handle an abusive spouse/partner/significan... other?
Today a woman was sentenced to 3 years in prison for shooting her abusive husband. That is SO wrong in my opinion! I feel strongly that once you start hitting, putting down, even psychologically abusing your spouse/partner/significant
other you lose your right to live. Obviously, society feels that, despite their hostility, they have the right to live like everyone else. NO, I will not accept 'get an order of protection' as an answer - I work in the legal field and those orders aren't worth the paper they're written on. Nor will I accept 'call the cops on the abuser' either - that usually solves nothing and things go on as usual. I just want to know why it's so wrong for an abused spouse to end the abuse the only real way possible. Have at it! - it's your law, not mine.

Lets see, I agree with you 100%.. and could not have put it better myself.. But here is what I have to say.. I had a friend whos husband would hit her, for 2 years I took everything she said and tried to talk her into leaving him and she wouldnt.. Well she called me one night and said he beat her and she was locking him out, she loved me and to bail her out if needed.. Well you know you would bail her out too.. About 2 hours later my husband came in and said the cops were at her house.. So I waited for her to call and nothing, so I went down there.. She was in the house cring, when I asked her what happened, she said' I locked the doors and left the bedroom window unlocked, left all the lights off.. and when that bastard came in, I yelled robbery and started beating the hell out of him with a bat..' I was so proud of her, she did pack her things and leave then, but she got her justice...
to be honest, I lik eit when a girl pulls on my hair.
and sometimes abuses me.
BUT only to an extent.
