You don't understand logic or compassion.

On the contrary I'm a very compassionate and logical person.  I can understand why a woman would want to forgive her husband for such an act against her.  But, as for me, the second time it happened I would drive a couple of steak knives through his eyeballs when he was sleeping.  There wouldn't be a third time and it sure as hell wouldn't last for years under any circumstances.

He also has no understanding of domestic abuse or what it means to be repeatedly victimized by the same person.

That too of course. He's also a homophobic sexist racist and overall bigot who overestimates himself, underestimates others and fills these forums with his vile nonsense.

The comment was "I was married to a guy who raped me pretty frequently over several years until I finally got out of there."

So yes, she was a willing participant.

So...there is no such thing as an abusive relationship?  No woman (or man) has ever stayed with an abusive, controlling partner out of fear for their life?  Noone has ever had their children, their safety, their family, or their livelihood held over there heads in order to keep them complacent?  It can take victims years to gather the emotional fortitude to leave their abuser.  Probably longer for those who don't have the support of friends and family.

 So to summarize: Because it took Losty some time to figure out how to save herself, she somehow deserved it?  Or, by your logic, was not ever being abused in the first place?  Hammy is right.  Your logic sucks, but your empathy is practically non-existent...

Wow.  I hadn't noticed it before now!  Thanks for the heads up.  If we are dealing with a mini Drich here then I won't even waste my words on the guy.

That's neither compassion nor logic.

This dude is a chick?

I have some good qualities.  I don't make long-winded personal attacks on other posters like they make on me.  The problem with so many people is that they go bat shit crazy when someone expresses an opinion that they don't like.  It doesn't matter what the subject is.  If someone goes against the hive mind he catches hell for daring to have his own opinion.  Maybe when people start threads on internet forums they should tell people what to think and to post only comments that agree with the OPs opinion.

You might wish to consider joining the Professional Victims Association of America.  It's membership consists of people who love pity parties.

I have never been in an abusive relationship so I'm not sure how helpful that would be, but thanks for the recommendation.

Hey! Whose kids are these!? If you don't settle them down, I am going to give each of them a bag of candy and a puppy!
