No, it's not the same as video games where the object seems to be to outwit and "kill" as many of your "enemies" as possible and you walking past a shop once a day isn't the same as wierd people spending hours and hours, often for days and days locked in "combat".

 

It's not long ago when there was either life-changing violence or a killing (can't remember the details) where a bloke (it's always a bloke innit?) was angry because he'd been disturbed while he was playing one of those games.

I don't know if there's any link between the current lack of respect for life but there's very aggressive, nay violent video games of all sorts. When you've done all sorts of things, then stop and re-start the game again, all the "people" you've "killed" have all come back to life again.....

 

Fantasy/reality all mixed up?

I doubt they are a huge problem but then we don't have such games in the house! Probably more of an issue that they are not outside blowing off steam.

Point taken! 😀

Yep, I was a victim 20 years ago, my course of action was for us to go our seperate ways, but that's not so easy for some, especially if children are involved!

I totally agree, but once again you have the stigma of a man complaining & being laughed at, very wrong in my opinion it shows the mettle of the man in as much that he doesn't retaliate!.you say a third I suspect the numbers are higher because once again they don't come forward. Im sure there are many men in torment but unless they press charges the same applies to them the same as abused women, & as the other poster has said if there are children involved it can be difficult & I'm sure women in this same situation feel the same,,leaving both sexes in further danger!.
