Earlier this year Loose Women launched a groundbreaking domestic abuse campaign called 'Facing It Together'. As well as shining a light on the stories of female survivors, male charities told us they’d had an 80% increase in calls to their helplines directly after our campaign launch. And with one in seven men experiencing abuse in their lifetime, it's important that Loose Men is involved. Vernon recently sat down with two survivors whose lives were made hell by the women they were married to, to find out how they were able to move on.

Please make Loose Men a regular show...it would be so helpful to men these days.

There desperately needs to be none toxic programmes like this dedicated for men. It might help to quiet the destructive forces online like the Manosphere.

I think loose men should be on a lot more often, also the subject of male abuse should be highlighted a.lot more it’s more common than we realise.

A permanent Loose Men show would be so helpful to all men. Men don't talk about these types of topics between themselves. They don't get emotional with each other. They are more likely to go out with friends to joke and talk about sport. Women talk to each other in a much more emotional and personal way. There is so much shame attached to all domestic abuse.

This is simply not true. My male friends have always shared their feelings, and we have talked at great length about my experience of domestic abuse.

@Ps-tc9ko 9 күн бұрын

In my experience it is a popular misconception that all women talk to each other or even most. Think this stems from the one sided men are meant to be stronger therefore, thry don't talk. That's not true either. Some women and men talk and some really don't.

As a survivor of domestic abuse for 10 years I can sympathise with these guys! I was in a gay relationship for 10 years and the abuse started straight off the bat! Why didn’t I leave? God only knows, I just wanted to be loved I guess.. at any costs! I’m very happily single now!

I agree, that there should be a permanent Loose Men programme. I’m also a survivor of domestic abuse, from my parent’s relationship and marriage of 4yrs, had a very difficult and painful divorce/custody/visitation, with 22yrs of separation from a malignant narcissistic mother, whom I haven’t seen for 17+ years no contact whatsoever. We are only now going through the financial settlement process, which she is also making difficult.

Loose men should be a regular. Men need to know they are not alone either ❤️ edit: I’m reading the comments and my heart breaks, I’m sorry for those who have been through this. As someone who has gone through a form of domestic abuse I understand how hard it is ❤️

Remember Joey (Friends) with Katie (?) She ridiculed him, "what little me?" while punching him "playfully" on the arm and chest. He ended up padding himself with six jumpers! Though it was dealt with in a comic way it really got the point across, that men also have the right to have their noes taken seriously, it's not something to joke about.

You should show this to the loose women and teach them to treat men the same as they do women… evident in the reaction of the guy from baby reindeer. They said ‘he encouraged it’ when a man is the victim but made a sad video and campaign when a woman was the victim.. crazy the difference in reaction. No mention of the increase of male victims coming forward from baby reindeer either…

It's quite sad to witness people being lumped together in different categories. Sadly, that's the world we live in. However, the irony is that we exist in a patriarchal society where men are saying the odds are against them while they're , at large, also the ones creating the laws and shaping our society. Unfortunately, there are still many countries in the world where women are yet to gain rights. Plenty of them are financially, emotionally, and physically dependent on their partners, many of whom treat them terribly and act entitled (as in the case of the ex-minister of Kazakhstan who murdered his wife and tried to destroy the evidence), so I would have to say the male disadvantage boils down to what society people are from and how the judicial system in each of those countries work, I suppose. However, in my opinion, there are only the abused. There's no denying that a long-term commitment is risky, regardless of what gender people in a commitment are. Always, always a risk.

I was in a domestic abuse relationship for 7 years and for me looking back it wasnt the violence or the name calling...it was the negative and suffocating atmosphere and the environment that really broke me down. The walking on egg shells and the isolation. The relationship ended 6 years ago now but the scars, void inside and my now lack of confidence, self worth and self esteem will always be with me like a internal dark cloud i cant shake off.

I'm so glad people are starting to talk about this. It's about time women who behave disgracefully are held accountable and also for the Men who are victims of disgusting women to get the same support a female victim would get. 👏
