I don't understand why this is the priority to be honest. The far bigger crime is the amount of men being driven to suicide because of family law courts and cheating spouses and their lack of support when things go bad. Nobody says a word about this yet so many men are literally killing themselves, is that not domestic abuse? Some time ago I separated with my ex after she suddenly decided that 'love moves on'. This was after I paid 2 years of rent, $7000 for her Visa, moved away from my friends so she could be closer to work, bought pets, filled the house with furniture and left a position that I loved for one that I hated so we could afford our expenses. I don't expect her to stay but do I get a refund for this? Absolutely not. How about we provide some rights for people who are given fake promises so they can get some of their money returned after their SO changes their mind?

I would much rather have a bossy spouse that says I can't have friends than to have to go through this again. It's the only time I've ever understood suicide as being a viable option as before I used to spend my time wondering what's wrong with people who commit suicide? Now I understand it completely. I'm just lucky that I had such excellent friends at that time who would come stay with me to make sure I was okay. The government doesn't exist for men in these situations which is why I have abandoned it.

In Spain this is the standard.
