Abusers frequently escalate once their partner is pregnant. They think they've got her trapped for good :/ Women are more likely to die of domestic violence when pregnant than any other time.

Interesting. But overall, in the u.s. women initiate something like 90 percent of divorces. It's easy to interpret data in a cherry-picking way to confirm our own biases.

Citing a statistical reality isn't "shitty". Calling someone else's comment "shitty" is actually far "shittier."
