With respect to your post, but in light of your insinuation that, I guess, I don't know what's going on, I'm going to say this. I am pretty sure I've dealt professionally with more domestic abuse cases than you have unless you work for the government in that area.
Regardless, I am well aware of what might hapoen (far more aware than I ever wanted to be in working with people) and I have seen many marriages where people who have admitted to spousal abuse -- both men and women btw -- have restored their marriages or have successfully initated new relationships. It's not easy, but far from unheard of like you seem to suggest.
It is extremely manipulative to just up the ante by just doing the "what if they did this" or "what if they did that" to accentuate a point but that's disinginuous and manipulative in my opinion, because we are talking about a specific situation and not those things. You arent like that, so I'm really surprised you went there.
I think that sometimes, those who only see one side of it - the damage and arrest/conviction, but don't see the successful healing and restoration -- are far too dismissive of people and their worth as human beings. I don't think people are so easily disposable.
I'm also not going into a protracted discussion of this. I said what I said, and I stand by it.
