Love: Today, I realized just how messed up my life is, thanks to all...

Today, I realized just how messed up my life is, thanks to all the scare stories my wife sees on Dr Phil. She's now convinced that I'll start beating her someday. She's started taking martial arts classes, and threatens to use her skills every time I get even slightly frustrated with her. FML

Today, I had a dream in which I was being mugged. I started fighting the muggers off, while in reality, my fist smacked my wife in the face. Now she has a black eye, nobody believes my story, and they think I'm a wife beater. FML

The protector

Today, I paid my daughter a surprise visit, only to see her husband beating her. I charged in and slammed him into the wall. She screamed at me to stop. They'd recently gotten into martial arts and were sparring, and now he's got a broken arm. FML

Second guessing

Today, I realized how toxic and controlling my wife is. She left to go on a vacation, and I'm so used to her micromanaging everything I do that I'm completely unable to function. I tried to play a video game and had a panic attack because I imagined her walking in and screaming at me. FML

How could you?

Today, my wife is mad at me because she’s had to stop seeing her closest friend because of me. Why? Because her friend is stalking me, keeps asking me to divorce my wife, and has even broken in and stolen my stuff, forcing me to involve the police several times, and somehow this is all my fault.

Today, my girlfriend accused me of being insecure and feeling threatened by the fact that she has a daughter from a previous relationship. She's vaguely right; I feel threatened, but mainly because the psycho keeps threatening to stab me to death when her mom isn't around to hear. FML

Today, my wife has a bruise on her cheek from a nasty trip while practicing her yoga. She now thinks it's hilarious to flinch in public when I get near her, and keeps telling people she "walked into a door". I've gotten more dirty looks than I can count. FML

Today, I was savagely beating my wife on Call of Duty, since she demanded that I play normally and not hold back. 15 minutes later, she was raging at me, calling me a bastard and saying she wished we'd never married. FML

Today, at a family dinner, my mother-in-law talked me into showing off some moves that I've learned in martial arts. I gently did a restraining hold on her. She screamed that I was trying to break her wrists, and kept the wounded act up all night, smirking as everyone gave me death glares. FML

Fight clubbed

Today, my wife picked a fight with a guy twice my size, then expected me to “man up and teach the bitch a lesson.” I’m not insane so I of course refused to fight, then she locked me out of the house for embarrassing her in front of her sisters. I want a frisking divorce. FML

A relationship is built on trust. You definitely need to address this issue with her.

From the sound of it, she's not the one who should be worrying about the abusive spouse. Seriously, every time you guys get into an argument she threatens to harm you? Switch the genders around and people would be saying call the police and get a restraining order.

She's doing the right thing, even if YOU are not a violent person. There are so many violent people in the world.

Yep, slowly becoming the abusive partner you're trying to stop. Definitely the right thing.

She's taking lesson to defend herself, not to attack! ;)

Defend herself from her HUSBAND, on the basis of a TV SHOW, one that specializes in abusive, cheating, and beyond-the-norm relationships. There is nothing smart about this. If they can't work it out the only outcome I can see is divorce.

"and threatens to use her skills every time I get even slightly frustrated with her". You're right, that *does* sound like she's defending herself. Think about it for a second. TV has terrified her into thinking that the person she loved enough to marry will one day devolve into an abusive *******. So she's taken to threatening him. That's not being defensive, that's becoming what she's afraid of.

I've actually never watched that tv show so I don't know what it talks about. However you're right, but I wasn't saying she should defend herself from her unviolent husband, after watching a stupid tv show. She should defend herself from ANY aggression, because there's too much violence on women nowadays. Taking martial art lessons is not a wrong thing. The reason of this decision is quite stupid, I agree with you. That was my point! So stop thumbing me down for god's sake :)
