Victims of abusive relationships can be both female and male, just as both women and men can be toxic abusers.
With that being said, we normally hear of women being abused in relationships and rarely hear of men seeking help to remove themselves from an abusive, toxic relationship.
A Malaysian man took to the SecretsMY Twitter page to ask for advice on whether he should confront his wife who constantly hits him and yells at him.

He wrote, “I know that a husband should swallow (his pride) and be patient with his wife’s rage and emotions. (I’ve) been doing that for the past 5 years of marriage. Being hit and yelled at until I feel numb already.”

Though, he has now reached his breaking point after an incident with his family.
“But, recently, our big family met up and my wife publicly disowned my mother in front of me and after that, my father also yelled at her face. Now, that’s a new record. And she doesn’t even feel any remorse or guilt.”
Should he keep going with her for the sake of their children?
“As a husband, what do you do? I love my 2 cute daughters and am afraid I might not see them anymore if I confront her for real. I have been a good provider for my family all this while but my heart just feels numb after a repetitive cycle of this ‘fighting’ and saying ‘sorry for things that’s not even my fault’. Help!” he shared.
What do you think? Should be confront her for being physically and mentally abusive or should he keep it all in and keep going?
