Abstract/Summary

This study aimed to describe the phenomenon of partner abuse in romantic relationships wherein males were the victims and their female partners were the perpetrators of the abuse. Nine male participants were interviewed and qualitative analysis was used to analyze the interview data. Findings revealed that men experienced emotional, verbal and physical abuse. The male respondents perceived sources of the female partner's abusive behavior included jealousy, irritability and unreasonable demands. Adverse effects due to the abuse involved diminished interpersonal functioning and lowered sense of well-being, and self-esteem. Findings were discussed in relation to the women's experience of abuse.
