Psychological abuse is much harder to prove. You are 100% right in that many men suffer through this type of abuse and just cannot afford a divorce or put up with it until they snap.
When they snap it usually is in a physical way, police become involved and the man ends up looking terrible. Once the cops get called, well here's the evidence she's got a huge bruise.
Who knows how much she provoked it? Who knows what she said? Of course she may have said nothing and the guy just snapped also.
The basic point is physical abuse is VERY easy to prove. Psychological abuse not so much, and even than the onus is on the man to not only prove it, but move past the idea of not "manning up" and dealing with what life throws at you. Essentially looking like a whiner, crying wolf, with the "she hurt my feelings psychologically".
Provocation is NO EXCUSE for physical abuse. You do realise that often the "provocation" is that the kids are crying and she can't stop them; she didn't have his dinner on the table when he wanted it; she doesn't want sex when he does; he suspects her of cheating.
Whatever you mean by "Psychological abuse" does not threaten the other person's life or physical health: the two things cannot be compared
Yes, none of those things would equate to necessary physical violence. What you are wrong on is psychological abuse most certainly does threaten physical health. Any rational person would agree to this. As a recent example from real life look at the Angelina Jolie/Brad Pitt divorce fiasco. She's keeping his children from any interactions with their father.
Is it reasonable to assume doing that is psychological abuse and damaging to his overall health? Yes.
As an aside, if the man is working all day (assuming the women isn't of course) why wouldn't the kids be taken care of and dinner be cooked and ready?
Is domestic violence against women solely an issue involving men?
