Your husband has a good chance of going for a night or two and maybe having a hefty fine too.  It doesn't matter that your husband was hit with a rock first, it is still assault because self defense can not be claimed if you retaliate with more force than is necessary to defend yourself.  Your neighbor will face legal action too though.  If you and your neighbor mutually agree to drop charges then you will both walk away with no action, but chances are that he won't drop charges if you and your husband are wishing to press charges against him... it is a sad fact of how our legal system works.  I can honestly say I would have done the same thing in your husband's shoes, but I'm sorry to bring you this unfortunate reality.

I was at home one night and 2 policemen knocked on my door.  They came in and said "did you know there was a report of a fire in this street today" ?   I said "not a clue, i was at work until 3 then i picked the kids up fom school and we went out".\nThey went on to tell me that my next door neighbour had received a call (her phone was in the front of the house in the lounge), telling her that her kitchen was on fire.  She's  a lady of about 90 and was obviously very scared.\nThey then went onto tell me that she had accused me and that they would be running checks on my home and mobile phones to see who i had phoned that day !!!!\nI was so upset and scared. My husband was at work and i was in the house with my 3 children who were also upset.  This accusation made me really ill and i ended up in hospital with pneumonia a week or so later. (When i am stressed i always get a chest infection but this one turned into something worse).\nAnyway, it turns out they decided not to take things any further with the accusation...but can you imagine that happening ??????

OH MY GOD THAT IS NOT OK!! Violence like that is unacceptable in any relationship. He is punching holes to prove to her his superior strength or something to hold an upper hand in their relationship. Wow. Either they end it now or they end it a year from now. No way can she trust him to honor, protect and cherish her for a lifetime. He "wants" a divorce? She needs one. If I am missing something good in their marriage, good for them. I would tell any woman that a man knows that he isn't supposed to physically threaten any woman... ever. I'm sure he is just great with kids who misbehave. "See the hole daddy just punched in the wall? That might be your head next time, sweetie, so don't wake daddy from his nap ever again because I don't want to hurt you." \n\nYour girlfriend shouldn't have kicked the TV set but I don't blame her for trying to stand up for herself. If her husband was in my circle of friends, my buddies and I would take him out and put the fear of God into him. You just let me hear that you raised your hand in anger against your wife and we'll be all over you with the police on the way. They will haul what is left of your sorry a-s-s to jail to rot. This is a very serious issue. Husband may grow up some day, but not as long as women and his guy friends put up with this kind of sh*t.

fiancee??  4 years?  Hmm.  blaming.  Hmmm.  throwing, slamming, yelling.... Not good.  He needs to learn how to manage his anger.  If you don't leave, then this may very well escalate into another domestic violence statistic.  Go explain your situation to the battered women's shelter.  They will appropriately advise you.  It's hard for you to see and understand that YOU DO have options.  Go tomorrow and find out what they are before you get physically hurt.  I know the emotional part is bad enough.... So go tomorrow.

You don't need to be in that kind of marriage, you can do better than that, take pride in yourself, and get out, get away from him, because he may be emotionally abusive right now, but it can turn to physical abuse later, and then it may be too late to get out except by way of a coffin, please, don't make the same mistake I did, I left only after my ex- cut my throat with a piece of barb wire wrapped around my throat, and shot a double barrel shotgun off by my left ear(hard hearing in that ear now) in front of our children.  I thank God for nosy neighbors, that heard everything and called the police, so, I send out praise to all the nosy neighbors in Manchester, Tennessee.   Get out now while you can, ask a friend to help you get out, or you can call the domestic violence shelter, and ask them to help you,, don't become a VICTIM of domestic Violence, be a SURVIVOR.  Best of luck to you and God Bless, I will keep you in my prayers.

Good thing you aren't together any more... That story has the makings of a good episode of 20/20 or Prime Time Live!\n\nSome people crave sympathy. They'll go to any lengths to get it. \nThis man really needs help. \nI just hope he's not one of those con artists that marries women and takes everything they own and disappears.\n\nGlad you're rid of him.

tell her to call Social Services wherever she lives or go to the nearest police station. They will direct her. You cannot help her---what if her abusive husband comes after you! This calls for professional help. But you are nice to want to help!

If he's beating her then that's abuse and she needs to call the authorities.  She also needs to get out of this situation as soon as she can.

As long as you still have the marks, make a police report! This man (for lack of a better word) is trying to control you, and sounds like he has succeeded up to this point! Don't be afraid of him, because you can be protected!! You don't have to put up with abuse from anyone! If he's into crack and has another woman, you should just hold your head high, and walk away from a bad situation. It'll only get worse if you let it! When you make your police report, you can also request a restraining order. In my town, you'd be directed to contact Victims Assistance, and they will have the restraining order for you as quickly as tomorrow! Don't let him get away with anything! He needs to be locked up! Good luck to you! :)

He needs to be placed in a bag and beaten. I don't know unless counseling would help. He obviously doesn't see all that she does to keep home and business floating. Maybe if he has his own job besides this business they bought it is to much for him maybe he isn't doing well in his job and it makes him feel worse cause she is doing such a great job. I'm afraid the verbal abuse will become physical if he is pushed to much.

One calm and clear night, the battered wife known as "name" saw her husbands gun lying across the coffee table. She thought nothing of it and again her husband beat her. Later while her husband was in a drunken sleep she crept up and  puting the gun up against his head whispered "good night" and shot him.\n\nLike it? E-mail me at million.objective@yahoo.com
