Nowhere is there more of a gap between common understanding and documented realities than in what happens when marriages, civil partnerships or even transient romantic couplings devolve into physical violence.
People sometimes like to make things complicated, and I sometimes find that their motive in avoiding simplicity is to avoid realizing, or thinking about, something which they find mentally indigestible.
