Well it’s possible things improved in a sense he isn’t being physically abusive anymore if she does what he says. Some think it’s an improvement

I am not surprised people think it supposed to be battlefield. Many think it is supposed to be hard and supposed to be drama. Personally I have a demanding job and I have zero desire to come home to a battlefield. What for? Don’t need a man that bad. I want peace and joy. Not misery

Sadly many people, men and women, some are abused and even if not abused, can’t stand their spouses and speak poorly of them all the time, not just after an argument or occasional like literally have nothing good to say. About someone they share a life with. And don’t leave. Live like 50 years like this. So sad. Scary.
