  • 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?
