And there's the rub: a "loving" partner. In Canada, the male can be kicked to the curb at any time by the woman and she will keep everything. He will likely go to jail if she utters those three magic words, "he hit me". No proof needed - just look at this paper's "unfounded" series where they are demanding automatic convictions based purely on finger pointing! No sirs, you're much happier and healthier without having that loaded gun pointed at your head for the rest of your life (and death - spousal support comes out of your estate, of course).
