I honestly don't know enough about the situation to "choose a side".

But as a survivor of abuse myself, I at least hope that this helps male victims to be believed. There are very few I have admitted my experiences to, all close friends, because the idea that a big, physically capable man like myself could be abused by a woman almost half his size is scoffed at by so many at face value.

On the other hand, I feel bad that this will be weaponized by the assholes out there to discredit female victims.

That has hit so many spots as its kinda like my current relationship that i just dont know how to walk away from.. Johnny Depp is a hero to male victims around the world

I didn't know how to walk away either; she was severely depressed, self-harming and suicidal by the end so I was terrified if I left she'd kill herself.

In the end, I had to just gather my courage and say no more, I can't do this. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do, but I had to save myself. I urge you to do the same. For your own mental and physical safety, get out. 

There are very few people I've disclosed my experiences to, because I read people saying things like "but you're twice her size, why not just stop her" all the time online. My ex hit me in the throat while I was sleeping; how was my size supposed to prevent that? She punched me hard in the chest without warning for not finishing a drink in one go, my size didn't mean it didn't hurt and make me feel unsafe.

This all happened over 7 years ago and just in the last few months have I managed to finally overcome my fear of sleeping in the same room as someone else with my current partner, who is lovely and very understanding.
