The First

This is going to be quick,
but thanks to my being on Windows 7,
not only have the damn updates slowed me down much longer than I would've liked,
but with the Littlest Dictator being insistent that I play with her RIGHT NOW,
I'm worried I might not be able to get this out before I head out.

So my wife hit me today.
Not a gentle tap,
and not in jest.
In anger, and she kicked me.
With almost full force,
while the baby was lying down with me.

She was already in a bad mood,
but what apparently tipped her over the edge,
was when we disagreed on the date an event happened,
and then I realized that she was right.
And she fucking kicked me.
If she's hit a joint,
I could've been seriously injured.

Sure I work out,
and in a proper fight,
there'd be no contest.

But there's never going to be a proper fight.
And she chose the moment when I was with the baby and unable to even defend myself.

I doubt this will be a regular thing.
I doubt it will ever happen again.
But I feel the need to document this.

I've seen too many instances of men being abused,
and having either people not believe them
because they were so much bigger than the women who hit them,
or endure ridicule if it turned out to be true.

Damned either way.

This post will allow me to at least reassure myself that I've documented it.
I'm sure it'll never happen again.
A once-off.
But you know, just in case.

Well enough of that.
