In last Sunday’s paper, there was a blurb about a man who pled guilty to beating his wife and was sentenced to six months in jail. According to the article, the wife stabbed the husband in the leg with a steak knife when he went for her and he responded by choking her until she passed out and kicking her repeatedly. At court the day of the plea, the husband’s attorney said the incident was “a loud wake up call” for the couple to repair their relationship.
And all I could think was, “Really? You didn’t see any signs that your relationship was in trouble until he choked and kicked you and you stabbed him? In that case, you should both be sterilized because you are both too dumb to reproduce.”
