Women are as physically aggressive as men in domestic relationships (Archer, 2000). However, this is not necessarily recognized, and men may be distrusted when claiming domestic abuse. Thus, as part of a series of articles, our purpose is to highlight the experiences of one male who experienced such abuse, detailing the historical underpinnings, the warning signs, the physical and psychological effect of the abuse, and the challenges and stereotypes faced by a male who makes such allegations. In this first article, warning signs prior to marriage are presented in addition to an explanation of how they may be ignored.
