One of my coworkers was in a bad relationship and cane to work with bruises. Of course she said she fell, bumped into a wall, etc. even though we knew that was not true. my husband has never or even came close to hitting me, no matter what. I can honestly say if he ever hit me that would be the first and last time he would do that. I married a man so I could be his wife, not his punching bag. There would be no excuse, I would be history.
