    If you go by traditional standards, yes. But more and more we are learning that men can be the abused too.

    But regardless of being able to fight back, no side should be yelling at the other. Anybody yelling while arguing is an abuser.

      While I agree with most of your comment, two people can get into a heated argument with yelling involved, but I wouldn’t necessarily call it abusive. Yelling of a sign of abuse, but not all yelling is abuse.

        I can see where youre coming from, but the only time I’ve screamed at someone it’s because they were either abusing me or someone I cared about. Every healthy relationship I have were able to talk through problems.

        Screaming should be left for fun and/or competitive situations (within limits of course)

          I’m not saying people who scream at each other are in a healthy relationship either. It isn’t healthy usually. I just think we need to distinguish between abuse and unhealthy or undeveloped communication skills.
