When people talk about domestic violence, they often think it happens to women only. Unfortunately, the fact that the society defines men by how much they can take does not help them to speak up.
Recently, a Nigerian man identified as @I_Am_Ilemona shared his experience of domestic violence online. The young man said his ex-girlfriend used to slap him, to the surprise of many.
According to him, the relationship lasted a year until he decided to walk away after she hit him at a public event.
Read his short story below:
Dated a chick who used to slap me on a regular. Hit me for almost a year. Her friend once asked her if she wasnt worried I'll hit her back & she said she knew that unless she threatened my life I'd never respond.
Finally walked away when she hit me repeatedly at a party https://t.co/R2hEnhoRmb

Funniest thing about this thing is I'm 6"3. She was about 5"7. Can't even remember whether she used too jump for her hand to hit my face.
This life sha.

Have no idea. She was really sweet at first. And somehow that started. And I somehow convinced myself that I deserved it. And that if I didnt upset her, she wont hit me.
