    Default France mulls 'psychological violence' ban

    If you insult your wife or husband repeatedly, you could soon find yourself in court if you live in France.

    While psychological abuse is very real, how do you think this bill can work to prevent abuse? Anyone can just accuse his/her partner of being "psychologically violent" and evidence will be hard to prove.

    Do you agree with this bill?

    Having been in a relationship before where my ex would say some very horrible things to me to the point of it being verbally abusive, I can understand how the psychological "violence" in a relationship can be very damaging to the person on the receiving end. But the bill seems kind of useless. It will be hard to prove anything and the bill can be easily abused by men/women who just want retaliation on their partner. I think it may be better if they just provided more help and counseling centres or resources for men/women who are in a psychologically damaging relationship.
    Because I'm somewhere in between,
    My love and my agony.

    Psychological abuse can leave scars just like physical abuse. Kudos to France for this. Just have a cellphone ready to record. hehehe.

    Anyway, people who abuse people suck. Chronic psychological abusers should be imprisoned too. They usually prey on people with low self esteem.
    What are you fighting for? Just mix them into pissing beef balls, stupid.
