Sadly, yes, there are men who are abused by their wife. No individual should be subjected to abuse. Men are often less likely to speak out about it due to the way they are then received in society. Some of the posts in this thread reflect it. If a man is abused he is perceived as being weak, not a man, etc. A lot of times a man does not even want to admit to himself that he is being abused. The reasons why men do not leave these marriages are often the same reasons as why women don't leave.
