\n\tSigns a Man is the Victim of Domestic Abuse
\n<\/h2>\n\n- \n\t\tShe belittles him in public.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tShe controls his social media or prevents him using it at all.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tHe gradually drops contact with friends and family.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tHe may have unexplained bruising.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tShe accuses him of cheating, thinking about cheating or flirting.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tShe threatens to expose him for some real or imaginary wrong-doing.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tShe tells him what to wear, what to eat and makes decisions for him.\n\t<\/li>\n
- \n\t\tShe has explosive temper tantrums, often leading to violent attacks.\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n\tWhy Don’t Men Abused by their Partners Just Leave?
\n<\/h2>\n\n\tMen stay with abusive partners for all the same reasons that some women stay with theirs. They may not even recognize that they are the victims of bullying. They might describe it has ‘henpecked’ and laugh about it, while on the inside it feels like torture. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tMisplaced loyalty might keep them with an abusive partner. They feel that they owe them support. This is usually because the bully has brainwashed them into believing that the man is in the wrong, that they are lacking spirit, and that they cannot manage without the bully.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn between abusive behavior, the bully might seem ‘normal’. They may be loving and kind until something sets them off. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tThe man might not know what to do, how to seek help, or have anywhere to go.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tShame may keep a man with a controlling partner. They simply are unable to admit that the one they chose is not the person that other people think she is. There’s a sort of inverse protection going on.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tSimilarly, denial that there even is a problem will prevent some men from ‘going public’. They may think there is something ‘unmanly’ about asking for help, or admitting that their partner is abusing them.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWhat is Coercive Control?
\n<\/h2>\n
\n\tProfessor Evan Stark of Rutgers University in New York, defined coercive control as:\n<\/p>\n
\n\t"A course of conduct in which a pattern of violence, sexual coercion, intimidation, isolation and control are used to dominate and exploit a partner and deprive [him or her] of basic rights and resources.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIsolation from friends, family and colleagues is a classic method by which abusers exert control over their victims.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tOther characteristics include excessive jealousy, taking away the victim’s phone, withholding food and toilet access, stalking, restricting access to money."<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIf You Suspect that a Man is Being Abused
\n<\/h2>\n
\n\tTry to talk to him, but bear in mind, for the reasons listed above, he may not be willing to discuss the problem. If possible ask neighbors to report any occurrences of shouting or screaming to the police. Encourage him to seek help from a domestic violence organization. Confronting the abuser is not usually a good idea as she will later take her anger out on her partner.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIf You Are in an Abusive Relationship
\n<\/h2>\n
\n\tThe first step is recognizing that you are being bullied, abused, controlled, manipulated and\/or restricted. While it might seem impossible to reach out, you must know that you are not the only man in this situation. It is becoming increasingly recognized that men are frequently the victims of domestic abuse. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tTell someone you trust what is going on.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIf you are in fear of your life, call the police or ask a neighbor to do it for you. If you can leave the home, then do so. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tDon’t think that it is your duty and responsibility to shield your partner. They are the ones who are harming you. They don’t deserve your protection or sympathy\n<\/p>\n
\n\tNever retaliate. Often the goal of the goading and abuse is to get you to hit them so that they have another reason to threaten you. Leave the room, if you can.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tGet yourself an unregistered cellphone and hide it. Use it to call for help when you need to. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tIf you can leave the relationship, do so. At the same time report your partner to the police immediately before she reports you. Because she will. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tIf there are children involved, their safety must be your top priority. \n<\/p>\n
\n\tCreate a plan to leave. Remove important documentation from the home and give it to a friend or relative to look after for you. Try to arrange to have access to cash. Find somewhere to stay. If you have these in place, you can walk out toward a new life, abuse-free.\n<\/p>\n
