I now know I am beautiful and worthy of much better and from now I on I will take no less that what I deserve, which is a God centered person, friendship, compassion, "real" love, honesty, integrity, moral values, and most importantly respect. Our divorce was final on May 30th and all of my friends tell me how much happier I seem, so light and free.....free indeed only through the grace of God!
Good for you! God doesn't intend his children to suffer through an abusive marraige or any other relationship.
I hope for the best for you!
God gives only two reasons for divorce, abuse isn't one of them. Before you make a life long commitment to GOD you should be sure that you're equally yoked and understand what love is and is not. Don't thank God for his grace, your divorce and your 'freedom' wasn't because of His grace but your lack of faith.
Sorry to say that but it's true.
How do you figure lack of faith?
The couple should have called the police the first time it happened. Its illegal behavior, and he should have charged with domestic violence.
Maybe then both could have received the help they needed. They were clearly both very broken people.
"What the heck is that all about" certainly wouldn't have fixed anything.

Knowing my wife as I do, I would pause, because she would probably grab him up by an ear and wail the tar out of him, and then I would have to go to jail if he were stupid enough to retaliate. If he were then not knocked completely out, which would surprise me, I would take him outside, sternly talk to him, and then send him on his way.

I side with those who would confront the offender.
Many years ago, I would have probably cowered, felt bad and tried to find some way to appease and calm the situation. I believe that I am much more for standing up for what I believe. I would tell the man that "you NEVER hit a woman.
I don't know if I would call the police, but I would definitely consider that option/obligation. If it were a child, I would feel that I must call the police. No choices there.
I would certainly let my (possibly-former) friend know that I don't want to be around him if he is going to act like that.
1. I pray that no one reading this thread ever has to go through that.
2. If you are faced with this type of situation, I pray that you will weigh the seriousness of the matter and take some sort of appropriate action.
God bless America

This is something I can not tolerate either. Outside of being attacked by woman and defending yourself, their is no reason to react this way. It only shows how secure the person in question is with themself. This has happened before in my household and I just got in between the 2 (because it was a both fault siituation that almost broke out into a street fight) and shoved them both away before an altercation happened. Then both parties were thrown out of the house.
I have set rules established to have a productive relationship. 2 of them are A - Never call the spouse a deragatory name and B - when in anger don't strike at them, no matter what the problem is. (of course, the only exception being described above)
I have been with mine for over 6 years, and have never called her a name. Nor have I ever hit her. If the thought ever crossed my mind, I would walk away and beat up the punching bag in the garage. Then I feel better.

You and your spouse were having dinner with a friend and his wife and you were playing some kind of card or board game and your friend did not like something the spouse did or said and he (angrily) slapped her in the head enough to embarrass her, make her cry, hurt her, and make her leave. What would you do or say to your friend.....
And would you ever do that to a woman and what are your thoughts on a man who would.....talk about LOADED question.....
There is no way I would ever do that to any woman under any circumstance or for any reason, let alone my wife, in front of others or in private either one.
As for what I would say,...let me put it this way, there wouldn't be a whole lot of talking going on.
He would never be welcome in my home again either.
