What are the signs of domestic violence against men?

Domestic violence is also referred to as domestic maltreatment, battering or other spouse or partner violence. It happens most often between people while in a close relationship. Domestic violence against men may take many various forms, most notably psychological, emotional, physical, sexual abuse and almost always the threats of abuse. Domestic violence occurs without regard to sexual orientation. In fact, it happens in both in heterosexual and homosexual relationships.

Domestic violence against men is often hard to identify. But all too often here is what happens: soon in the new and usually intimate relationship, one person seems very attentive, remarkably giving and rather overly protective. Soon and in hindsight s/he turns out to be terribly inhibiting and usually frightening. In the beginning with that person, the abuse might appear as isolated incidents. And that?s when the cycle of i?m sorry and promises to not to do that abusive thing to you ever again.

In some domestic partnerships, domestic violence against men might consist of both persons or partners play-slapping and/or pushing each other around when one or the other gets irritated. Typically neither person sees himself or herself as being mistreated or manipulated. Regardless, the adverse affects of those types of subtle violence, however, it will devastate a relationship and leaving both persons with deep, long-lasting emotional scarring and physical damage.
