Yeah I've seen a lot of people dating others much younger than themselves, closest I've come was dating a 15 y/o when I was 17. :-/ The maturity difference was a bit much, heh, didn't work out. Anyway, but in all the different relationships I've seen and such, never were those involving abuse. I've always had a bit of a temper in my life, but being older, I can obviously control it more, and there are really only a few very specifics things tha truely set me off. Abuse of a woman, is one of them. I say bust his ass, do whatever you can to make his life miserable, then send him my way and I'll add to it. I cannot, in any way shape or form stand that. It's, in my opinion, one of the worst occurrences in this world. It's childish, cowardly, pathetic, and just wrong. I may feel so strongly about it because some of my past girlfriends have put up with abuse before with their previous boyfriends(not me). So naturally, I end up hearing about it, and it just basically sends me into a frenzy.
