Hello,
I have a gorgeous, loving, warm, hot, beautiful wife who joined me in this journey to the US we've been into since late 2005. We come from Eastern Europe. We're both educated people and have known each other for four years -- married for just over two. Sounds like a nice relationship. Unfortunately, I have become increasingly violent with my wife over time, and I now feel it's hard to stop by myself. I swear and sometimes hit her. (though more rarely -- I usually hit in response to her hitting me) We are both more and more sensitive to each other's tantrums and there seems to be a vicious circle fueling itself more and more often.
We're not undergoing any sort of couple therapy, but I'm starting to consider taking it. But I would like to begin by reading some books, maybe they will help. After all, we're both educated people. I've spotted something on Amazon.com -- "Violent No More: Helping Men End Domestic Abuse", but there's a lack of reviews that makes me uneasy buying it.
Any books out there that you guys can suggest?
Thank you,
Mike

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I'm telling him all the time that is he a fake men. He is very abusive with me mentally. He drives me crazy with his words.

Everything is facade.... He borrowed a book from the library about violence and he never open it.
Now I'm very very hurt and upset!Bye!
please, for the health of the both of you seek out help...
For the Wife - You shouldn't have to take the hitting but should also avoid hitting back and then next time he hits you call the police and they will lock him up for physical battery charges and spousal abuse. This is not something that goes over in our country.
I'm sorry for both of you that you are in a relationship such as that and continuing on with it with such loyalty that the wife is still cooking meals for her husband after his preferences.
I got in heated arguments and my wife and I would both swear at each other but neither of us have layed a hand on each other and we are going to be going through a divorce here soon because we just can't seem to work anything out anymore. We have 2 kids in the relationship as well.
it isn't the purpose of this board for anyone to 'tell you what to do' but i do not take physical violence lightly, and you shouldn't either. it is NEVER okay, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
