In this article, I will discuss possible actions you can take on the question “What to do if my wife hits me”. Domestic violence against men refers to physical abuse or violence experienced by men in a domestic setting, such as marriage or cohabitation. Domestic violence against men, like domestic violence against women, maybe a crime, but laws vary by jurisdiction. Men who report domestic violence may face social stigma due to a perceived lack of machismo or other derogations of their masculinity.

Understanding Men’s Violence
According to the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey, male victimization is a significant public health issue (NISVS).
Nearly a quarter of men in the United States have experienced some form of contact sexual violence in their lifetime. Approximately one in every ten men in the United States has experienced contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner and has reported some form of IPV-related impact. Fear, concern for safety, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder were among the most commonly reported IPV-related impacts among male victims.

According to survey data, men are more likely than women to experience intimate partner violence, sexual violence, and stalking. The majority of first-time victimizations occur before the age of 25, with many victims experiencing violence for the first time before the age of 18.

Approximately one in every three men has experienced sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner at some point in their lives.
Almost 56% of men who were victims of contact sexual violence, physical violence, and/or stalking by an intimate partner were victims of these or other forms of violence by that partner before the age of 25.
