A great friend of mine got into a fight with his wife last night & she hit him. I haven't seen him but it sounded like it even left some marks. He's a professional & there is no finanical need involved, she's the one dependent on him, if anything. I doubt he would have told me if he wasn't caught up in the moment and didn't call me right after the incident. I'm outraged by 2 things: 1- My own reaction-- if it was a girlfriend, she would be staying in my guest room as we speak. I was upset, but not to the point of going to get him. 2- As upset as he was, he wouldn't have even dreamt about pressing charges, which is something I would have considered if anybody put their hand on me, not saying always would, but it would be a consideration. I can't help but wonder how often this occurs in relationships & how often this is overlooked even when there are injuries! Why the double standard?
