Coward

[Bell501]

My husband doesnt like confrotation is he a coward?

What a horrible thing to say. I don't like confrontation. A lot of people don't!!

To stand by and watch someond you are supposed to love being abused. To me is being z coward

I don’t think many people relish the thought of confrontation

Context needed.

So you ignore it?

I mean I think a lot of people don't like conflict, without knowing the conflict and context it's difficult to know whether he's a coward or you're a cow.

I dont like it but i would stand up for people i love

Would your husband run into a burning building to save your child? Would he own up if he made a big mistake at work? Would he sit with a dying relative in pain and provide comfort no matter how upsetting it was? Does he pick himself up when something goes wrong and keep going (and not retreat into alcohol, drugs, other women or just bugger off)? Because to me those are the measures of a man’s “bravery” that matter.

Alcohol and the fact hes not willing to make a stand im unsure

Massive drip feed.

There’s not enjoying confrontation which obviously doesn’t make you a coward.

But depending on what abuse you say you’re being subjected to and by whom and the extent to which your partner is ignoring it is obviously going to make a big difference in answering the question

Courage is being afraid but doing what is right in the face of that fear.

Not enjoying an argument…

Someone disrespecting me . Msybe nowdays thats not an issue

Yes, he needs to go and visit the wizard.

What exactly does this disrespect look like? I’ve found a lot of people use “disrespect” when they mean “someone doesn’t agree with me”.

You need to provide more detail or people can’t make a judgement. Presumably you’re a grown adult and he’s not your guardian or keeper and so in the majority of situations I’d expect you to be able to fight your own corner. If someone more his size than yours was obviously beating or threatening you then I would expect a loving husband to step in, of course.

If it was all verbal then he’s not a coward for letting you back yourself.

Tslking over the top of me laughing when i speak.

Why are you unable to stick up for yourself? The fact your using the term coward says a lot about you. Horrible term.

Don’t think it makes the top of anyone’s hobby list

Ok thank you. He joins in

Who has disrespected you? What did they do/say? Was DP there? What happened? What did he do/say?

Honestly why bother posting when you’re not willing to divulge enough information for anyone to actually advise?!

That’s very vague. Do you mean won’t intervene if he sees his BIL beating his sister and children, or do you mean won’t intervene if he hears your MIL being slightly brusque to you? The former is a problem, the latter is probably dealt with by everyone ignoring it.

I guess you are somewhere in the middle?

Why don't you give the full story instead of ridiculous meagre posts?

You're clearly going to keep drip feeding until you get the responses you want. I'm out.

OP why don’t you just stand up for yourself? Are you a woman or a mouse?

Look I’m sorry you’re being treated badly by someone. They shouldn’t be laughing at you or talking over you, but it doesn’t make your husband a coward if he doesn’t start a fight over it. Women aren’t dainty petals to be protected by their men they can tell the person to stop it themselves (unless prevented from doing so by something).
