Why Does He Do That? - A 30-Minute Summary

Inside the minds of angry and contorolling men: What is abuse? And how can you tell if you are in an abusive relationship?
Abuse is a complicated term. It includes a wide range of controlling, devaluing, or intimidating behaviors. These can be emotionally - and, in some cases, physically - damaging to the victim. Some male abusers are outwardly aggressive and violent toward their partners, while others manipulate, insult, or disrespect them.
The thing is, a lot of abusive men don’t seem like abusers; they can be charismatic, kind, and fun to be around. In fact, they may not fit anyone’s image of what a cruel or intimidating person would look like. This makes it hard for some women to recognize when they’re being mistreated.
In these blinks, we’ll take a deep dive into the psychology of the abusive man. You’ll learn how his abusive thinking works and where it comes from. And you’ll learn to identify the early warning signs of abuse.

    Learn the KJV scriptures and find some real Christlike bible believing loving people (the hardest part) and follow Mathew 18:15-17! God is the only one that can soften hardened hearts, and God works through His disciples! When Gods people follow His word, Gods love works through them and leads abusers to Christ! Like Lundy Bankroft teaches, you need the help of family and friends in your lives, to hold the abuser accountable (Mathew 28:15-17 KJV), and this godly love causes the abuser to see the truth and repent, or causes the wicked person to flee when no one is chasing him! Either way, you are free from bondage of abuse and this is only way to help the abuser to change into a person who can treat others humanly, now or in the future!

    The book details abuse tactics and what an abuser will GET from their victim as a result (eg. throwing a tantrum about "tone" or "disrespect" whenever you ask them to do the dishes = you stop asking). So it is possible to use it as a manual to abuse, I guess? But just as good a chance this guy got called on his abuse and is calling THAT abuse.

    This is what my wife says I am. She’s even listening to this audiobook. I wonder why though. I keep to myself. We barely talk. Or speak to each other. We’re like ghosts in a house. So I don’t know why she says I’m this. I’m not abusive at all. I’d love to love her but she keeps my at a distance. I feel some women who do something wrong in the relationship will tend to make the man out to be a narcissist to make the wrong doing justifiable. I think she’s actually the narcissist for acting like nothing happened. And continuing to throw shade at me. Crazy thing she’s listening to this! Most likely brainwashed by her other wrong doing wife friends.

    Oh my goodness, this was my wife and my ex and my mum. Crikeys, I even recognize it in my sister. Thinking about it, it's no wonder so many more men are on the streets, failing school, losing their kids and committing suicide .. no support and being falsely accused as the abuser, which I reckon would make anyone look angry (men tend not to use the tears). It's a terrible thing to promote 'abuse' as a gender issue .. that is antiquated and damaging. Research shows, as men knew anyway, that women are more abusive and instigate physical abuse.

And I do not think this book labels abuse as a gender issue. The therapist so happens to specialise in helping men who are abusive to become better. The same way some people specialise in helping women who are abusive to become better. There indeed needs to be more support for male victims of abuse. However research does not show that women are more abusive. That is incorrect. Please do not aim to make abuse about gender, as you assumed this author of this book was doing as well.
