Hammered Husband

A news headline captured my attention: HAMMERED HUSBAND.
It seems there’s a tendency that cases of abused husbands are increasing, the papers said. And these husbands chose to remain in silence rather than to report the cases, with hope, to keep the family in peace. (or in one piece)

I was amazed. Where on earth these violent WIVES are trying to do?
Imagine a lady with a hammer. Hammering her husband.
Having gone to this extent, what’s the point of still being together?

I wondered. The wife could just stab the asleep husband to death one day.

Or vice versa.
