“Domestic violence charges aren’t conditioned on marriage. Boyfriend/girlfriend is enough of a hook, as are sibling relationships, and striking out against any relative.”
It includes ex-wives too. And ex-girlfriends. And baby-mamas. And.......
That’s why I harp on this with young men.
Since there’s no need to buy the cow to get free milk, young men should restrict themselves to only free milk. Don’t let the milk sit around even long enough to become yogurt.
I’ve discussed this with young gunsmiths and basically laid out for them that their entire livelihood can be extinguished by one word from a crazy girlfriend or pissed off wife. Solution: Don’t allow them to become girlfriends, much less wives. Don’t let them move in their clothes or belongings.
