  6.  @poko9562  As I’ve said, black and white thinking. Either it’s all his fault or it’s all hers. It’s the battle of the sexes. Bear in mind a lot of those commenting are kids and young adults who’ve never had to be responsible for another life. They can work on principles and not reality. I have a family to support, and if my daughter came home with a convicted criminal who used steroids and was an MMA fighter I would talk to her about the dangers. I would NOT be supportive of this relationship. Why? I’m 40 and I know these guys are not going to end well. The immature mind thinks “yeah but this one might be a good person. Too judgemental” That’s merely cowardice from not wanting to confront the issue and take responsibility. Regardless of what people may think, men and women like me will continue to do the hard work of protecting those who aren’t developed enough or experienced enough to be able to judge circumstances correctly. We will not be liked for it. May even be resented initially but one day most of these girls will look back and think “what was I thinking?”. That’s if they don’t end up in hospital, prison or as a single mother. The key isn’t to make mistakes and then whinge about how the world should be different, they key is to actually succeed in avoiding these situations. Our love and protective instincts have been mischaracterised as controlling, conservative behaviour. The villain in this is him - not her. I’ve said this about 30 times. However, our hearts break because she could have avoided it by choosing another guy. It’s incredibly dangerous to totally ignore this aspect as it makes out DV falls out of trees, and you cannot use your wisdom and intuition to avoid it. This guy might as well have had a 10 foot sign with neon lights saying “this man will beat you” on his head.

  12.  @MorellaReborned  We are misunderstand each other. There is one thing which is “how the world should be” and I agree with all you say on that basis. The other side is the reality - and it IS the reality and it always will be. Since the dawn of time we’ve had these people and we always will. It sucks. Here’s an example of what I mean: a parent makes a mistake and leaves the wrong medicine out for their kid. The kid gets seriously Ill. It’s a mistake right? You can’t blame the parent for making a mistake? WRONG. Consequences matter. The intention is irrelevant. It’s on the parent to get their stuff together and make the right choices. Hiding behind “My intentions were right” is not enough. You now have a seriously I’ll kid and it’s on you to prevent that. This is the principle I’m taking about. Someone, somewhere has to put an end to it. You have agency, we all do. The point of this discussion is not who gets the “feels” or who gets sympathy. The victim gets the sympathy, of course. Any father knows this, you have a responsibility to change the course of history and not hide behind good intentions, intellectualised notions of right and wrong. You have to prevent it. Partly yes, education may help in a minority of cases. I’ve been a victim of assault, I’ve been mugged 4 times. I had a very rough upbringing. I’ve had worse done to me as a powerless child. Why is this relevant? Because nobody gives a f in the final analysis, nobody is coming to save you, good intentions mean nothing and you have to be streetwise and tough and learn the skills to get you out of these situations. Coming at this from different angles . In terms of sympathy then you can have all of that, I’m interested in fixing the issue, not picking up the pieces once the damage is done.

  13.  @pinksapple  here’s an example which might help you understand. It’s basically a guy who had low self esteem, an attractive woman found him, and convinced him into a sexless marriage (while having affairs) and then got her lover to kill him for insurance money. https://youtu.be/7Zktzu7BACk While she was the offender and he is the victim, the dude bears some responsibility for being mind numbingly stupid to not see the multiple red flags. He could have left and kept his dignity at any time. I’m going to ignore your insults about “not picking me”. I have a wonderful wife, who’s far more attractive than Christie, and we have a lovely daughter. If you read my comments, I never said ALL women, I said A LOT of women. I’d probably say about 20%, generally those with daddy issues, end up going for these guys. https://youtu.be/7Zktzu7BACk The majority of women aren’t drawn to psychopaths but there’s a significant minority. The point remains, this guy, he was a victim but as a fellow man, I would urge other men to educate themselves on the ref flags. As for police officers, if that’s statistically true, then women when assessing men in these professions should exercise extreme caution. If you don’t feel your own gender can be held accountable for their choices, that’s fine. You’ll harm other women by saying so. I would advise my future sons, my nephews, and any younger man to be highly cautious with a woman who’s very much into material wealth, has a criminal history (this woman did) and doesn’t have much of a work record. When in a relationship, also to scrutinise withholding affection until financial commitments are made . This guy should have seen her coming a mile off. He has a responsibility to protect himself. It still doesn’t excuse his murderer, but if someone had given him the skills to be able to judge character better, he wouldn’t have ended up in a ditch. For me to say “we should educate women to not murder their spouses for insurance money” would be so comical it’s almost absurd. Good luck trying to eliminate psycopathology from the human genome. You’re better of educating people on how to spot them, and in terms of avoiding a violent man, avoiding MMA fighters with criminal records would be a fantastic start . Now we have the roles reversed with a male victim, how would I sound if I said “there’s nothing to be done! Men should be able to marry trashy, materialistic women who have affairs and embezzle your money and not expect things like this?” Perhaps if you look at this case it might help you gain the perspective I have . It’s not about blame .
