(21,506 posts)However one is physical abuse and the other is a question of age difference and societies tolerance of that age difference. Not really the same at all.
This kid had 6 years of forced separation with no contact, plenty of time to get away from any influence she had over him and he went back to her the second he was able. Maybe because of a mental disorder he has i have no way of knowing but maybe because they have some strange deep connection.
I do get what you are saying though the wife beater is still a wife beater despite his wife wanting to be with him.
But if we apply that to this situation at this point should we still then as a society be trying to separate these two? I guess we don't really try to separate the wife from her abuser...
It is an odd story and I am not really sure how I feel about it at this point. I do think calling this particular woman a rapist at this point in time considering they are now married ten years diminishes the word rape.
