I have no sympathy for any partner that abuses their spouse or opposite partner. There is no justifiable excuse for physical force except as self defense.
It is a sad state of affairs here in NZ with such a high rate of domestic violence. It's very prolific in lower social demographic portions of society with Maori and Pacific Island cultures having the highest offending charge rates.
In saying that, it is most certainly not restricted to those people groups. All Men need to take responsibility for there emotional state and learn to act responsibly and rationally.
It is a lack of control of ones emotional state, and the thinking that losing an argument is being wrong. Men especially find it very hard to drop an argument and want to win at all cost. These men are often up against partners who are also strong willed and charismatic which adds fuel to the fire as they come to logger heads.
It is a shame that in schools, they don't teach more about conflict resolution and self control.
Something needs to change, there is no reasonable excuse to physically or emotionally assault

the person you pertain to love.
Leaving an argument is not losing an argument. An argument differed is anger defused.
