      We have a huge amount of evidence proving the rise in injustice in the courts against men who suffer abuse, it ruins mens lives and our support for men in UK has found maladministration and malpractice in law at many levels responsible for not many men coming forwards and instead committing suicide. Of the known cases we have heard of and seen out of 100 men 8 commit suicide before getting the support necessary, with approximately 20/40 becoming homeless and becoming self abusive due to the mental health not being treated. Full whitepaper will be published August 28th 2024.

      @@user-by5lj5fs4v it only seems not very common as men are far less likely to report being victims of any form of abuse because society will not take it seriously and twist it to make it the male victims fault or make the man feel like they are less of a man because "you got beat up by a girl". more people are likely to step in when they see a man verbally or physically abusing a woman but when they see the woman verbally or physically abusing a man people are far less likely to step in as it is seen is society as "he must have done something to deserve it" women are always taken more seriously than men. and saying something like "not a single man takes female victims seriously" is clearly a false statement as if that were the case there would be zero men arrested / charged / jailed for domestic violence which is clearly not the case.

    I was in a domestic abuse relationship for 7 years and for me looking back it wasnt the violence or the name calling...it was the negative and suffocating atmosphere and the environment that really broke me down. The walking on egg shells and the isolation. The relationship ended 6 years ago now but the scars, void inside and my now lack of confidence, self worth and self esteem will always be with me like a internal dark cloud i cant shake off.

    I agree, that there should be a permanent Loose Men programme. I’m also a survivor of domestic abuse, from my parent’s relationship and marriage of 4yrs, had a very difficult and painful divorce/custody/visitation, children act proceedings. Plus 22yrs of separation from a malignant narcissistic mother, whom I haven’t seen for 17+ years, no contact whatsoever. We are only now going through the financial settlement process, which she is also making it difficult and being deliberately tactful. One incident she threatened my father with a knife and abused him, which me and my brother witnessed. When the police arrived he was told to “be a man” this was late 90’s so very early-on before any real change happened with regards to the Acts and Regulations you have now within family law. Then again I’m within the opinion that not much has really changed since unfortunately.

    This is such an important issue. It’s heartbreaking how many men stay silent about domestic violence because they’re not believed or feel they have no support. I’m helping a young father who’s fighting for custody of his two little ones, ages 3 and 2. His ex made it impossible for him to get legal aid by contacting every attorney and service in the area, creating 'conflicts of interest' so he couldn’t access help. Meanwhile, she has a history of abuse and felony charges. It’s so unfair, and the system needs to change. I can’t share his fundraising link here, but if anyone is interested in learning more, please reach out. We need to bring more awareness to this issue and support the men who are brave enough to fight back against abuse.

    This sounds all well and good but it’s not just the part about speaking up - over 18 months ago my emotionally abusive ex wife was caught having an affair, and she then proceeded to play victim - accusing me of all sorts and fully got away with it. The reason? Not ONCE did the authorities hear me out. Not once. She drained my bank accounts, She left, cried wolf, disappeared with my son, and no one would tell me nothing until it was time to pay child support - and then spousal support. I spoke to the charities but unless I had thousands to hire a barrister and go to court, it was a “that’s how it works”

      It's quite sad to witness people being lumped together in different categories. Sadly, that's the world we live in. However, the irony is that we exist in a patriarchal society where men are saying the odds are against them while they're , at large, also the ones creating the laws and shaping our society. Unfortunately, there are still many countries in the world where women are yet to gain rights. Plenty of them are financially, emotionally, and physically dependent on their partners, many of whom treat them terribly and act entitled (as in the case of the ex-minister of Kazakhstan who murdered his wife and tried to destroy the evidence), so I would have to say the male disadvantage boils down to what society people are from and how the judicial system in each of those countries work, I suppose. However, in my opinion, there are only the abused. There's no denying that a long-term commitment is risky, regardless of what gender people in a commitment are. Always, always a risk.
