Translated article here. Excerpt:

'Hamburg - first he thought the problems with his girlfriend he could overcome. So it wrote Jochen K. * in his diary after she hit him first with his fist in the face. He had held her and tried to calm down. But the attack in the hallway should not be the only one getting his girlfriend became violent in the coming years. You did not get the problem under control. Today K. have to say: "An insane hubris."

Nine years they were together, have a daughter. By the time his girlfriend had become more jealous. "A relationship is unbearable when one must constantly expect to be attacked with fists," says K. Also, a pair of therapy could not help.

Mr. K. is not an isolated case, his experiences are no exception. In a comprehensive health study by the Robert Koch Institute has nearly 6,000 German adults also asked about their experiences of violence. Thus, men use violence rather in the social space and in the workplace, women are more likely in the home. How honest and comprehensive information, respondents, can be hard to tell with such a sensitive issue. "The social desirability says: 'I have an intact family, I've never been a victim, I am also not violent,'" says Heike Hölling health scientist, one of the authors of the study.'
