You tackle such a huge topic with advice such as 'Before committing yourself to any relationship, know first if the person is, generally speaking, sane' Anybody who enters a relationship with a person who THEY KNOW is not sane really needs their head examined, not comfort and understanding. I really am lost for words at such complete and utter nonsense such as this. If you cannot be bothered to tackle such an issue properly, don't demean it by tackling it in this way. Finally, domestic violence happens to both sexes. In the UK, 1 in 4 women have suffered it (25%) while 1 in 6 men have also suffered it (just under 17%). Men are stigmatised and not encouraged to report domestic violence so the male figures are thought to much lower than the actual figure. Is this article a joke?
