One of the biggest and most dangerous issues that society is facing today would be none other than domestic abuse or spousal violence. By definition, spousal abuse is known to be the act of one partner using violence, guilt, threat, blackmail, or any other acts in order to dominate the other one. By understanding all about this act, society may actually be able to do something about it.
The thing about spousal violence is that it may happen to anyone regardless of age, sex, and race. Many people believe that it is only the men who would do this to their wives but what many do not know is that women are also known to do these shameless acts to their husbands but in a different form. This means that abusive behavior sees no discrimination at all.
Now abusive behavior is actually not an overnight thing wherein the dominating partner becomes abusive the next day. Actually, one would usually start first from a verbal form which usually comes in the form of small and petty insults or put downs. From there, humiliating and hurtful words might spring up in the process.
Of course the hurtful words and belittling acts may lead up to outward violence such as hitting and slapping. Now usually, the violence would start out light like slaps to the face or to the arm. However, if it is left unattended, the dominating partner may actually start hitting the subdued spouse really hard.
Of course there is also another form of abusive behavior that is mostly portrayed by men. This is known as sexual abuse which is also a form of rape and may happen even to those who are already married. What happens here is that the dominating partner will be forcing his wife to have sex with him in a manner that may actually hurt her.
Of course the signs of being a victim of this kind of behavior is actually quite obvious. If one acts very timid and seemingly scared in front of his or her spouse, then it is actually obvious that something is going in their house. Usually, victims would be on their toes and watching out for their actions as they are scared of offending their spouses.
Of course one of the major causes of this kind of behavior would simply be low self esteem on the part of the dominating partner. Since the dominating partner has low self esteem, then he or she would actually take out the frustration on the partner. This in turn will help him or her gain some self confidence in himself or herself because he or she does not feel like he or she amounts to anything.
Now the reason why domestic abuse is very dangerous to anyone is simply because it can cause long term effects emotionally. It can make a person lose confidence in himself or herself and may actually affect their personality in general. It is for this main reason that this sort of activity has to stop because no one deserves such treatment.
