I'm not a gay man, but I have been in an abusive relationship before and it doesn't matter WHAT gender the people involved are- if there is EVER violence between a couple it's time for the relationship to end and both parties to get counseling..
You don't hit the people you love- whether they're big enough to fight back or not.

I did a lot of research about gay violence and lifestyle on the net.. there are a lot of high quality reports available..
I saved one to disc and some of the facts are startling..
Among the more significant revelations was the fact that most violence against gays.. WAS caused by other gays.. not by straight men..
Worst of all is that around 80% of all murders against men.. was caused by other gay men.. usually a jilted partner..
The average life expectancy of a gay male is only around 62-65 years.. compared with 70-75 for a straight male.. this is due to violence and lifestyle including high level of drug use by gay men and extremely high level of disease among gay males.
YET the media rarely shows any of these cases.. only the gory ones involving some migrant kid who robs a liquor store..

Not gay .....but arguments can very quickly spiral out of control into physical or mental abuse. As each wants to inflict pain on the other. Physical gets more hype because marks are visible and can be lasting and also couple with mental anguish. However, mental abuse can be in the long term every bit as demoralising. All comes down to communication skills and trying to avoid an escalation.

I volunteer my time working with male victims of domestic violence. Though it does happen with gay males, the rates among lesbians are several times higher. Even amongst heterosexual males, the rates of them committing domestic violence has been dropping rapidly for two decades, while the rates for women battering men has gone up sharply. Unfortunately, there are few shelters for men to take their children to for help. They usually get driven out leaving the children behind to be abused.

Never. and I've been in this relationship for 20 years...But I don't really remember us really fighting...It's more like "I'd like talk to you about something"--and that's okay...we talk it out before it's a problem--works for us anyway.
And futhermore..a partner would only have to even suggest violence toward me once (and I would be gone--I'm not about to give or take that attitude in my life).

No not at all... I have been in a relationship for 5 years and the fights we have dont last long and it is normally arguing.

No.
First off, we never have an argument. Second, no one in a relationship deserves to be hit.
3rd, Julia, you "heard" wrong. The incidence of domestic violence in Gay relationships is no more than that found in heterosexual relationships. Please stop spreading lies.

In my first relationship yes, then I got rid of the lying cheating idiot. The relationships that followed were much different and never had it since.
