We hear and read about innumerable instances of a man physically and mentally abusing his wife. However, men experience abuse too from their wives and families that scar them for life. And an Indian man took to Reddit to share his horrifying ordeal.
Taking to r/India, the user ‘some-athlete-930’ claimed that his wife is physically abusive. She allegedly throws things at him, sometimes very heavy objects. He claimed that 2 weeks ago, she punched him so hard that he started to bleed. They have been married for 14 years.
“She gets very violent when angry and throws stuff at me. So far in last 14 odd years she has hit me with a water bottle on my head that left a scar, she spit on me, hit me with chappals , threw countless things at me including a brand new laptop – to the point where I started to hide/remove heavy items from easily reachable area (sic).”
He went on to seek advice on how to handle the situation because they also have a child. Calling his wife an “ego maniac”, the man wrote:
“I am very well off financially and given her all freedom. She works as well. She does not care about any of my relatives including my own siblings but expects me to do everything for her side of family. I don’t know how to get out of this situation given we have a kid. I am fed up with this life. What can I do? (sic)”

People online were quick to point out that what the man was experiencing was domestic abuse and it shouldn’t be tolerated at all. Many took to the comment section to ask him to gather proof of the abuse and get a divorce along with custody of his child. Have a look:
Instead of man-ing up and silently tolerating such abuse, men should open up about their experiences and take necessary steps to get rid of such toxicity from their lives.
