As much as this may not be the most popular conversation, male domestic violence in marriage is a lot more common than you may have imagined. Over the years, more cases of female domestic violence have been reported and handled – but this doesn’t mean that men are off the hook in this regard. <\/span><\/p>\n A recent <\/span>survey<\/span><\/a> polled by the National Coalition Against <\/span>Domestic Violence<\/span><\/a> (NCADV) revealed that 1 in 4 men had experienced some form of domestic violence by an intimate partner. These numbers are slightly behind the numbers for female domestic violence. <\/span><\/p>\n If anything, this reiterates the fact that men aren’t entirely absolved of being victims of abuse. navigating domestic abuse, as a man, can be completely different because admitting it can sometimes feel emasculating. <\/span><\/p>\n This is why many men would rather keep their stories to themselves and refuse to seek professional help following the trauma they’ve just undergone.

Acts of domestic violence may be verbal, physical, emotional, or psychological. <\/span><\/p>\n Here’s the thing. <\/span><\/p>\n You may be a victim of domestic violence for a long time without even knowing it.
