Who cares about them!

If you had a husband, I am sure you would care about him.

Its generally the treatment of the wife that comes into question.
Less common of the wife mis-treating the husband... although its not unheard of.

Or it's less likely to be overt. Whereas, if a wife was getting beaten she has alot of support available to her.

“Before death takes away what you are given, give away whatever there is to give.”

Mawlana Jalal ud Din Rumi

I have in read reports, articles that young men in relationships are MORE likely to be abused, beaten up than young women in the same age range (18-24) - but overall, women are more likely across all age ranges.

As for support, if you are in such a situation, I doubt its easy for anyone and any support out there means that you have to first confront what is happening by yourself before getting it.

If you are getting systematically brutalised, there is a chance that over time you may think that its normal. If that happens, it does not matter at all if there are tons of help services out there or not.
