It's a terrible thing, and happens all over the world, some places worse than others. Interesting question though - I wonder how the natives did treat it?

In fact Pat I would go a bit farther and suggest that sometimes little acts of

aggression play out in courtship. I once saw a young man punch his girlfriend's arm

I thought that does not bode well for a happy relationship. Not a box of chocolates

soother.

I lived nearly twenty years of abuse, not physical to me but he broke things I loved and mentally tormented me on and on and on until I had no self esteem left. And I was a nurse helping other people. Finally a friendship with our Wiley gave me the courage to leave and I have never looked back. Dear darling Wiley.

I read it but I didn't know what to add.  It is a post unto itsself.

Good Morning

Pat, I think there is a valuable lesson in this post.  I wish that everyone that was in an abusive relationship could read this.  I have never been in an abusive relationship but I know there are so many women suffering in silence.  My heart goes out to each and every one of them.  I believe the men that want to do harm are narcissists and they are the most dangerous of all.  I'm so sorry that you had an evil husband.

Good morning

The only flaw that I can see with this punishment is that once she sat naked on his face, she should have then been allowed to defecate while in the squatting position. The smell of sweet success would have been hers to serve him as a reminder of his "dirty deeds."
