Some women do not care about their children when they decide to leave their abuser just so they could have the freedom to live life the way they want if eventually escape. On the other hand, a man can also escape avoiding being tempted to do something drastic.

Men are often at the receiving end of a toxic relationship, Whether you were provoked to commit a violent act or you were acting in self-defense is not a thing after the violent act has been committed. Violence may come as a shock to you as you can easily harm yourself or someone you love with the sharpest object you can find. When your partner becomes violent, the safest thing to do as a man is to escape.

The thought that a man can not run away from his own house has contributed most to domestic violence in most cases. If you don't want to be tempted to commit murder, you have to get out of your house and flee for safety. If you held on to your pride as a man and assume the woman will be the one to leave, you may become another statistic.

Explanations are not enough to keep you away from violence. Get out of a violent situation as soon as you can. However, when you leave, be prepared to face rejection from your family members and friends. They might be angry with you for leaving your house, but you have to keep faith in yourself. Find the strength to make a decision that is best for you and take action.

It's better to be criticized by friends and family members than to face the law for an avoidable crime. Walking out from an abusive woman can help both you and your partner recover psychologically. Knowing that your children will not be the ones to witness domestic violence should also be a motivation for you to leave.

I know this is not easy for many men to do due to ego and pride, but when the inevitable happened, you would wish you have taken a leave and escaped the violent moment. Love is hard to hold and it's hard to let go. Before you commit murder, give your partner a chance to regain sanity. Let go of your pride and let her have a second chance. Your partner may come back to her senses and feel remorseful about her violent actions when you must have walked out.

Violence thrives in a relationship when none of the party want to give in to the other, and in most cases, women will never want to give in, it's therefore wise for a man to take a leave and escape from the house at the moment of madness from the woman. If you choose to fight it out with the woman you might be tempted to do to her what you never thought about.

In this sense, the rooftop means to walk out and find a safe place far away from the reach of the violent partner. Don't play too big to go to the rooftop, avoid being a statistic for domestic violence.
