Domestic abuse or spousal violence is the act of one partner forcefully trying to subdue or dominate the other partner by means of fear. Now the dominating party may use of violence, threats, blackmail, or any other means in order to control the subdued partner. Of course if this type of act is to be stopped, it is always important to understand and recognize it first.
Now the bad thing about this is that it may happen to just about anyone and not just a certain age, race, or sex. In fact, what many people do not know is that there are cases wherein women would also try to control their men by means of blackmail or other types of abusive acts. So as one can see, abusive behavior picks no one and may just happen to anyone.
One thing to take note of is that one does not become an abusive person just right after one day. In fact, the abusive behavior would usually come out just a few years or even months after marriage in small forms of insults or belittling comments. Of course if this may actually further escalate to more hurtful words that may actually humiliate the spouse.
Ultimately, this may actually lead to physical violence and other types of related acts. Of course just like the verbal form, the physical one would start out small like some light slaps to the head. From these small slaps, one could actually start hitting or probably even scratching his or her partner when angry.
Now abusive behavior is not just limited to hitting the subdued partner or saying hurtful and belittling words. In fact, there is such a thing known as sexual abuse that may also happen between spouses. Forced sex is usually done by the men and is done in a manner that would hurt the subdued partner which may also be considered as rape.
Of course if one is a victim of this type of act, then the most obvious sign would be fear and timidness when around the dominating spouse. One who is a victim of this act will usually try to watch his or her actions when he or she is with the spouse. It is like he or she is always nervous and is extremely careful with his or her every move.
Now a lot of people would be asking why the dominating partners would exhibit this kind of behavior in the first place. Well, one of the most common answers is that it is a manifestation of insecurity. The reason as to why abusive partners would hurt their spouses is simply because they do not feel good about themselves so they would take it out on their partners so they can feel like someone is below them.
Domestic abuse is definitely a big problem that must be stopped because of all of the bad effects. Being a victim of this type of act would actually result in low self esteem or excessive fear of people. No person ever deserves to be a victim of such madness.
