In an instant what seems like a perfect, or at least functioning relationship is-- well doing just that, functioning. And then just like that things change. But is it ever really "just like that"? How quickly did things change? What signs did we miss? Who is to blame-- the one blinded to their partner or the partner blinded to themselves? In 2010 I don't even know the statistic, but 5 years ago 1 in 3 women had been abused. Be it once, twice, known assailant, unknown, it was 1 in 3. I am not sure the number for abused men (because it does exist), but let's talk on the majority. Between the person sitting on your right and on your left someone has been/will be abused. Is it you? Too many women are subject to their partner's inability to manage self-conflict. Too many women do not know where to turn. If the only outcome is eyes of pity, charity, or how did you get there, too many women will never admit anything is wrong-- to you or themselves. It pains me to see the bearers of life and such beautiful creatures be pained and defeated. It breaks my heart to see love unappreciated and unrequited. It just all around hurts. Take it as you may but open your eyes to your situation. Re-evaluate the conflict and communication. Know your partner. Because how (not so) quickly things change...

A women stands next to her man, a man who welcomes her to stand there.
