Good article in an Irish national newspaper on male domestic violence victims with an interview with one. ‘I was so terrified of my abusive ex,’ says husband thrown out of home One-third of victims of domestic violence are male, yet they receive only 1pc of the budget allocated to the issue

I wish more men knew their rights when they are being illegally thrown out of their homes. Most places have decent laws to protect you from being suddenly kicked out.

Study after study shows women initiate more domestic violence than men, yet this irrational myth persists that it’s men who commit DV and women who are victimized.

There is absolutely no legitimate reason to exclude male victims of domestic violence from the same help women receive. Why not equally help all victims?

Emergency rooms don’t deny people on the basis of sex, neither should domestic violence shelters or other DV victim resources.

In ireland, a country where rape isn't even illegal when women do it, doubt very much that DV services are better

Never cohabitate in a house you own. Rent your house out and let her lease an apartment in her name. When your turn is over walk out without obligation.

“I haven’t been able to have a relationship since, and I don’t think I
ever will. My confidence was chipped away at for so long. Eventually,
you do begin to say to yourself, ‘Maybe I am as useless and worthless as
she says’. But I know now that it was emotional and psychological
abuse. If even one other man recognises himself in this story and gets
help, I’ll be happy.”

Gives jack a medal already, but i hope it will help any dudes who are struggling with their partners.
