Re: The First Slap: Where to draw the line?
Sadly, that would be considered a more shameful ordeal in our culture. No, I don’t think that woman should put up with persistent abuse. I think that the people here are advising this woman to try and work out her marriage based on the assumption that her husband …up until his addiction…was a decent and loving partner…and that it’s the addiction that has clouded his judgment. Of course…if things only get worse in spite of family and even professional intervention…then more drastic steps (such as a separation/divorce) may have to be seriously considered and even implemented.
But it’s also wrong for some members on here…and there are a few guppies…who assume that the women can only look at issues from an emotional perspective and not also a rational one.
