That look wasn't contentment, dearie. It was boredom.

Yeah, that's what she said.

Yes, yes it is.

For me, anyway, there came a point where being stoned to death would have been a welcome alternative to resignation.

I am quite willing to bet that you would strongly disagree with yourself if you were in the middle of being stoned to death.

And I'm quite willing to bet that I would not while laying bruised on the floor with a knee in my breast bone and two large hands around my throat. Playing the submissive pseudo-wifey to a man who insists on complete control or a slow and agonizing death? The difference between the two: the stoning kills you faster.

Don't dare to presume you know where I've been until you've actually walked that road yourself.

A road I most definitely HAVE walked is mind crushingly intense pain. I can tell you for sure that if you think you would be able to form a single cohesive thought while dying of internal bleeding with half of your bones broken and shattered and massive soft tissue damage, let alone how much better it is to be in that situation than in a relationship that you could have just left if you felt like it, you are in the vast minority.

Edited to add:
"Playingthe submissive pseudo-wifey"

Trying to make a coherent connection between your apparent accident that resulted in internal bleeding and the oppression and abuse of women...

[jon.kiparsky]

I think the idea is that you wouldn't be able to think clearly while being stoned to death. Which might well be true, never having been stoned to death I wouldn't know.

But if you want to be particular about it, that would mean that this:

I am quite willing to bet that you would strongly disagree with yourself if you were in the middle of being stoned to death.

is not true - since you wouldn't be able to form a coherent thought, you wouldn't be able to "strongly disagree with yourself".

Quibbling aside, it seems silly to devolve into a game of "would you rather" over this. Would you rather be stoned to death or remain alive and submissive in an abusive relationship?
The answer is no, I wouldn't.

I think I could form a single coherent thought. And I'm not a minority.

That thought being "Fuck, that hurts"?

[h4nnib4l]

Hey, I didn't say it would be a useful thought...

EDIT: And B9, weren't you supposed to ask what horrible fate befell our new friend and show sympathy, and perhaps change your viewpoint due to an allusion to a supposed incident made by somebody on the internet?

He didn't ask about or offer sympathy over my decade-old abusive relationship plight. I see no reason to offer sympathy for whatever the fuck his problem was either.

[edit]

Oh, wait... nevermind... my problem was that I didn't just 'walk away'. My bad. Please, allow me to concede to the aggressor, ask forgiveness for being a girl, and bow before he who has endured more than I.

I. am. not. worthy.

[strawhat89]

It could be a 'she' who thinks very highly of herself considering the handle.

[BenignDesign]

Could be. Probably isn't. It's the internet after all. Girls are scarce.

If you want forgiveness, first you have to show willingness to change.

You said you would rather be stoned to death than be in an abusive relationship, and claimed since you apparently decided that I have never been in an abusive relationship that I don't get to have an opinion. I then pointed out that I have had experience with an event with similar physical results to being stoned to death, therefore my opinion is equally validated. If you can't put that all together without being spoon fed no wonder you aren't in control of your relationships.
