When do you think a man's discipline to his wife becomes abuse instead?

*Nickster*	if he hits its always abuse no matter how you look at it

oh_jo123	discipline OMG are you serious he is not your father he should not even be touching you in a mean gesture sheeesh

Juxtaposer	A man's discipline to his wife? It's abuse as soon as it starts!

hsmommy06	Discipline? Sounds like abuse to me right there.

Toogood	I didn't know a man is suppose to discipline a woman... What the ????

lostinsidemyself	His wife is NOT his child, you DO NOT DISCIPLINE YOUR MATE, so any discipline would be abuse

Kitten	To me, your question is flawed, because a man should not be disciplining his wife at all, just as a wife shouldn't discipline her husband.

KingDavid	discipline a wife??? what country are you from? What planet?...This is America,,wives don't get discipline here because we are partners, Not father-daughter!!! geez!

â˜…SoCalMamiâ˜…	Unless the wife is like 10 years old why would she even have to be disciplined

Dave G	You discipline children. If your husband is hitting you......or spanking you, he is abusing you. But the same go's for you hitting him. If he is calling you hurtful names it is abuse. But if you are doing the same to him than you are abusing him as well. Mature adults know that there are other more effective ways of communication. No hitting, name calling or swearing is needed.

Slick	WTF?? Discipline?? This a joke am I camera?? LOL..

ndnqt1966	Just the thought of disciplining a grown woman is abuse in my opinion....

Tray	If both parties are adults, then who has to discipline who? Call it like it is, if a woman or a man is beating or slapping each other then sooner or later somebody's going to jail.

homeslice	It's not a man's place to "Discipline" his wife unless she's been "Naughty" in which case She'll be returning the FAVOR. Really, this isn't the STONE AGES. No discipline

LilSunbeam	Your joking right?

MissE	Discipline? No man is to discipline his wife! The mere thought is abuse As a woman you are your own person and make your own decisions

MercurialMe :-)	That you posed the question means you question his motives...Listen to yourself and hear what you are saying....Your mind is trying to protect itself and you.....Hugs and good luck finding your way ...

Quasimodo	You mean 'discipline' like leather, latex and those little, red rubber balls that get strapped into your mouth with a leather harness? Hey...a dog needs to be disciplined. I can't imagine 'disciplining' my wife without receiving a good, swift kick in the grapes in return.

Allison L	You discipline a dog or a child, not your wife. WTF

Molten Orange	A man has NO right to discipline his wife in any way, shape, or form. Any kind of "discipline" probably constitutes some sort of abuse, whether it be mental or physical. YOU are responsible for YOU...a husband is not. A marriage license is a partnership, not an ownership.

So_Seductive	Honestly? IMO, no man should "discipline" his wife...you are both now as ONE, and should be treated as such. If he wants to discipline somebody, he should have married a child; but then, that would have been worser problems his way...Bottom line, not to badger or berate, but your husband needs to talk rather than show his anger if there is something between him and his wife that needs to be addressed. Abuse is never the answer.

Sweet Suzy 777!	He is the husband not the father.

MRS SOLOMON	You discipline children not your spouse.

cbkingone	when he starts to say"You can't"......or "you're not allowed"......

Jai	Discipline?

HerTiger	You don't say whether this is a religious or cultural standard in your relationship that the wife be obligated to accept discipline from her husband. I know in some faiths and culture the man is the head of the household. If a man is to rule as "king of the castle", he must rule with a gentle heart else his "subjects" will rebel. NEVER EVER does it give him the right to belittle, name-call, hit, push, poke, withhold affection, or any of the other things a man can do to break his wife's spirit. Be a KINDLY KING or ABDICATE

LB	A man should not be disciplining his wife. Marriage is a partnership between 2 equals. Noone should be disciplining the other one.

lisvad	a husband's job is NOT to "disipline" his wife. any kind of hiting, name calling, taking things away, or anything like that is wrong and it is abuse. a husband that is very controling is abusive. be careful. don't wait for him to beat you to death! he needs to respect you just like he want you to respect him. make it happen.
