It does happen. I said the wrong thing in an argument to an ex who I didn't know was high on drugs and she smashed a rocks glass in my face. Broke my orbital bone into my sinus, proceeded to trash the apartment and called 911 saying I attacked her. Yea, I pushed her after getting a glass broke in my face, but that was it. Police came, I admitted to pushing her but that was it.. Crime scene shows up, takes pictures of the trashed apartment, my bleeding face and my hands that didn't have a mark on them. They arrested her for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon with intent to cause serious injury.

Edit: fixed spelling from broken phone

Second Edit: I should have known better to leave before it got to the point it did. Months before this happened she got upset with me for talking to one of my best friends who happens to be a female and lived far away. I took about 7 haymakers to the face before I restrained her and calmed her down. Showed up to work with a black eye and busted lip the next morning. After reading the comments, for those that don't understand, sometimes it is hard to leave an abusive relationship. Fear of being alone, self esteem issues drilled into one since they were young, delusional thinking that one day it'll be ok etc.. It is hard and I sympathize for anyone in those positions, just find the strength and good people around you. For those wondering what happened to her.. I went and gave a statement to the detective, talked to the DA etc. No one would bond her out, but after they indicted her and a total of 6 months in county jail the DA dropped the case saying there wasn't enough evidence. West Texas is ass backwards and the DA is backlogged two years in the town I lived in. Unless you were a high profile DV man beating woman case, Lubbock wants nothing to do with it. I found out she was out via a text from the sheriff's office. I've since moved 10 hours away when my lease was up.

I recently got out of an abusive marriage. I am a male. She was both physically and mentally abusive. She never exhibited any kinds of abuse before marriage. Both men and women can be abused. If a friend comes to you and tells you they’re being abused, listen to them. Man or woman. It’s not something I would wish on my worst enemy.

Knew a guy in work and he used to come in with cuts and bruises, would openly say his gf was thumping him after she had a few drinks. It did some serious emotional and mental damage to him, not to mention the obvious physicality. It's scary shit.
