Content warning: domestic violence.
Once, many years ago, a man gave me a black eye and then bought me dinner at Duane Park (with a Groupon) to apologize. A gesture befitting his level of guilt. I knew a woman whose now ex-fiance hurt her so badly she needed 40 stitches. Shards of glass in her arm and face. She has, even now, a Bride of Frankenstein scar braided around her wrist. He would not pay her hospital bills.
If you listen to only one thing I tell you, listen to this.
