    Not quite... it should read "even WHEN proven wrong"

    Well I am Scots and I have only once hit back (not hard) and regretted it for the rest of my days. As far as I am concerned (and this is very OT) physical violence in a relationship is a complete no-no! Women use violence as an expression of exasperation, whilst men use it as a means of dominance in the vast majority of instances.

    The one time I slapped my wife was when I had stood back and taken the verbal and physical abuse and she was hysterical. It stopped her in her tracks as it was a shock to have been slapped. Not a good moment and I don't advocate it to anyone. A lot of hugging later we made up, but it still upsets me to think I have ever laid hand on her.

    My ex-wife had a violent streak and I let her hit me a few times. The net result however is she is now my ex-wife as for several reasons I finally had had enough. Some people need therapy and don't know it!

    I will say one thing. In a more egalitarian society where women wish to be equal in every respect, perhaps they should think again about using physical violence against their partners as they may find that legal action ensues. Most reasonable people can deal with arguements and issues without raising their fists or resporting to physical violence.

    Considering this thread however, it should be remembered that the vast majority of violence is committed by men against women. The arguement should not detract from the fact that in general women are victimised by intolerant males and used & abused.

    Getting the thread back on topic, I was pleased to see that the Japanese police have a great deal of evidence and have already identified the main suspect and released video footage.

    I get paid to take verbal abuse at work... really, it's a huge part of my job. When I get it at home for no pay... or rather I pay to get yelled at if you want to get technical) I tend to go off the deep end, fast. That's probably why most of our arguments go to shit so quickly. No physical violence, but I've punched my fair share of walls. My wife, on the otherhand, who condems my wall punching has broken several small, mechanical items (remotes, etc.).

    My stress levels have traditionally been pretty high...especially when I was in Hawaii b/c I was just not happy in the location. If I didn't have my iPod back then w/ my stellar collection of tunes that everyone here would probably hate, there was a good chance some country in Africa would've had one more volunteer, my company one less rather mouthy but nonetheless funny, entertaining, and valuable engineer, and my wife one less husband. I had issues there for a few months. :) Much more chilled now that I'm working out of my crib though.

    You and me both mate. In my home we have two holes in the wall from me (one by my fist and the other by my foot) The walls are just so flimsy ! Oh and the shower door glass got put through once as well in an explosive moment. I always think that a woman purposely pushes and pushes until you loose it. The thing is I won't hit her so the nearest thing gets a whack, normally the wall. I a way I'm glad the walls are so flimsy other wise I'd probably have smashed my fist by now :lol:

    LOL I live like 10 miles from newark. But NJ has one of the safest cities (Brick Township #1 in america ), and some of the worst (Camden #4 in america ). According to CNN
    http://money.cnn.com/popups/2006/real_estate/best_worst/2.html . But living here yeah definatly it depends on where you go.

    Reading all these stories about being married to a woman makes me glad i'm gay and married to a man. We understand eachother much better / are on the same wavelength which avoids any arguments. I think in the 7.5 years we've been together we've only had serious arguments a handfull of times, never any violence or such.

    I can actually see gay couples getting along better since you are both the same sex therefore understand each other a lot better. I bet arguments are a lot easier as well as we all know guys just want to get it over and down with while women drag it on forever !

    Well, I've witnessed the ugly side to homosexual relationships (break-ups, infidelity, etc. etc.) and I can say from what I've seen, they can be just as bad or worse than a straight relationship. Just b/c someone has a dick doesn't mean they can't be a bitch.

    Oh, i know what you mean, i see it happening around me all the time, it's mostly downto infidelity and people who think they are strong ennough to manage an "open" relationship but can't. Also it helps if your partner isn't a girly whining fag :lol:

    Doesn't matter what your sexual preference is. Relationships always need work and there is bound to be conflict. It is all about if you're willing to stick with them thru the good, bad, and ugly times.

    Anyway, back on topic. Looks like theres another story related to the murder. It's about another woman who was stalked in Japan by another nutjob.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/femail/article.html?in_article_id=447621&in_page_id=1879

    There are guys here who are obsessed with asian women, too. Insanity knows no cultural bounds.

    I have single handedly found the cause for Japanese men becoming stalkers. The Japanese High School Female Uniform.

    There's a phrase we use in my home.

    "Do you want to be happy or right?"

    We all know (as men) that this idea of equality is a myth. I have never met a woman who will pay for the meal on a date, help carry back breaking heavy things, dig the garden over or the many other things that are expected of a male partner.

    In my experience women only turn on the equality thing when it suits them - usually when it's a male perk that they are likely to be missing out on. :lol:

    Perfect signature quote material there!
