Is domestic abuse that bad in relationships?

Some girls I've talked to online say they're afraid to meet me because the last few men they were with beat them. Some women want nothing to do with the concept of having a man because they ended up supporting him financially, had his children, were treated as a servant, and were beaten by him when he threw a tantrum.

So I started doing some home work and several articles popped up all over Google. I've been researching why more and more women shy away from relationships with men and it's because most men lose their temper and get violent with their partner. I hear it's so bad that it's making a lot of waves. Even worse since the pandemic.

X-ray evidence points to pandemic lockdowns triggering a surge in cases of domestic violence.

Data from a major Massachusetts hospital found a significant year-over-year jump in intimate partner violence cases among patients -- nearly all women -- who sought emergency care during the COVID-19 pandemic's first few weeks.

"This data confirms what we suspected," said study co-author Mardi Chadwick Balcom. "Being confined to home for a period of time would increase the possibility for violence between intimate partners."

 
Domestic violence, in my opinion, could be reduced if people would humble themselves and not push buttons. I think the problem is people become smarty-pants, cynical and the like. All this stuff leads to resentment and then abuse. However, the worst thing is when it gets to the point where - any infraction leads to abandonment. I think that's even worse than the abuse. Well, some say to get out of an abusive relationship, but I will take the un-PC view that often times the partner brews up a scene which leads to it and also the person doing the battering. Well, I mean, why can't one partner at least humble themselves and fix the situation?
 
ughh, I can see that happening and being stuck at home all day could lead to flares. I know my parents could never survived the lockdown we had if my mom hadn't passed away.
 
I think divorce and/or breakup is an easy way out. I don't think couples have exhausted all options - especially the spiritual. Seriously, things weren't so bad when they first met, so something fixable must have went wrong.
 
Domestic violence one of the deal breakers for me in a relationship. in fact it is worse than cheating to me. I can't Judy deal
