Today, I went to a domestic violence counseling group. I was the only male there, and I explained that my girlfriend punches me in the face in front of my kids. Everyone started laughing. FML

OP here. Two of my sisters actually ended up beating the shit out of my now ex-girlfriend and moving me and my kids in with them. Kinda hard to defend yourself when you have muscular dystrophy and you spend most of your day in a wheelchair. But Thank GOD I'm done with that psycho-bitch. And **** those assholes at that therapy session.

I hate double standards. Abuse is abuse no matter what gender you are. Sorry OP :/

I hate when people think males can't be absurd

It's ridiculous that the group would laugh at you as they're in the same situation! No matter how hard it is to believe, I've seen this once with my own eyes at a restaurant with my children and we were all in shock when the woman told the man in front of her own daughter "wait till we get home because I'm going to put my hands on you". The woman was black and the man was white, and the daughter was not mixed at all, so it wasn't his biological daughter...and the woman's daughter laughed! So ridiculous that this happens to anyone at all!!!!

I think at that point I'd have said "I can see why your boyfriends/husbands abuse you now"

Yes, because being a douche totally legitimizes them being emotionally, physically or sexually abused? No one deserves that. OP doesn't deserve it and neither do they. They're assholes (horribly horrible assholes) for laughing but no one deserves abuse from someone they trusted and loved. Shame on you.

I am sorry OP. I was in an abusive relationship for 10 years I know how much it can hurt physically and emotionally. It shouldn't matter what gender you are it is still abuse and you have the right to seek help. Shame on those women who should know better.

That's not appropriate at all. It doesn't matter your gender or size, domestic violence is the same.

Ummm I bet if you dump the bitch she wouldn't be able to do that. Restraining order

It's easier said then done.Most people like that tend to hold on to their past. It's the legal solution,but 5 minutes is all it takes to do emotional and physical damage.

That's horrible, OP... I hope they ******* mature soon, and I hope you get the help you need soon.

A real man doesn't hit back

What the hell does that have to do with anything? The fml in no way suggests that OP has hit his girlfriend. She's the one punching him in front of his kids. She's the one in the wrong. Did I misunderstand this comment or something?

**** them. **** everyone who thinks that your race/gender/identity/sexuality/appearance counts. You can't fight against discrimination with more discrimination. Cracked.com recently did what I thought was a very moving article on a male rape victim and the reaction he got, so you might want to research that. I hope you find a better support group soon, and manage to get out of this abusive relationship. :)
