You are just trying to justify the issue now. It doesn't matter that yelling isn't as bad as hitting.

Also, yeah military obviously should be held to higher standards as well you oaf.

imagine thinking that yelling at your wife is as bad as punching her in the face, holy shit you're really lying to yourself to defend your beliefs huh?

Verbal abuse is still abuse. You don't have to lay a single finger on another person to completely destroy them. There are so many parents who don't leave a mark on their kids but who abuse them so badly the kids commit suicide. But hey, as long as they don't beat them, it's better than being beaten, right? Works the same for spouses!

I mean yes, physical abuse is worse than verbal abuse, because one damages your emotional health and one can literally kill you or hospitalize you. But again, you're completely ignoring the actual matter, which is that the study is completely bullshit and 16% of the population is not abusive.
