If a woman gets mad and becomes violent I would tell her that it's better for me to leave and come back since anger is making the moment awkward. Must say something like that because if you leave without a word you are being Passive aggressive in telling her to F off and she has no say. If she won't let you through, and continues tell her you will call the police and have them moderate. If she goes ballistic cover up and head out....she needs a hammer to cause you harm.... Bare fists won't do anything so get in the defensive position and roll on out.

How much harm a woman can do to a man is somewhat irrelevant. The problem with my situation was not the threat of physical harm. The problem is the amount of selfishness and lack of respect required for a healthy relationship. That was the disease and in most cases this is true. The risk of physical harm regardless of how minimal it may be is just a symptom of that disease.

Great post. No, abuse is not manly. Being domineering is not manly. I guess you just have to take a lot of things on CD with a grain of salt though, given the nature of the forum.

I am. It is a big part of how and why I was able to maintain my composure when all of this was happening. I suspected then I was being baited into escalating things. This woman, herself a Marine as well, was not stable or rational and likely trying to get me to do something that would get me in trouble with the law and service. Years later I'm still cruising and she has been kicked out. Go figure.
