Oh and, as a person who lived with a father who was abusive back in the 90s when it was all the rage and nobody gave a shit, I had to watch him throw boiling hot cups of drink in my mums face, or threw a damn chair at her head. I was around it a LONG time before we BOTH got out. I can say that guys like this aren’t worth a damn... My dad dint MEAN to do it. He actually had an accident which nearly Killed him And made him violent. But it showed me just what a man doesn’t do. Use your fists for them when it comes down to the wire... but not on them.
But I can also say I’ve been with women who have pushed me to the point I wish I had a damn chair handy. The kind that come up to your face and scream in it then start slapping and scratching, egging you on to “be a man” and put them in their place.
Difference is, the second you lose your cool, you’re no longer the man... your a coward who just lost the high ground. No missing limbs and charred face though, just a normal coward.
