Update: AITAH for wanting to leave my wife because she had a "go bag"? : 12k comments, 57% upvoted

I would've put a tracking device in the "go bag". If she leaves with it then let the games begin.

I can understand where the wife is coming from. I keep a loaded gun in a hidden compartment of my nightstand in case my wife ever tries to Total Recall me or something.

I wonder what the redditards would think of me?

If your foid can't imagine a scenario where she might need to get away from you to be safe, then does she even consider you a man?

Soon after establishing her first refuge, Pizzey asserted that much of the domestic violence was reciprocal.[22]: 82  She reached this conclusion when she asked the women in her refuge about their violence, only to discover most of them were equally violent or more violent than their husbands. In her study Comparative Study of Battered Women And Violence-Prone Women,[30] (co-researched with John Gayford of Warlingham Hospital), Pizzey distinguished between "genuine battered women"[30] and "violence-prone women";[30] the former defined as "the unwilling and innocent victim of his or her partner's violence"[30] and the latter defined as "the unwilling victim of his or her own violence".[30] This study reported that 62% of the sample population were more accurately described as "violence prone". Similar findings regarding the mutuality of domestic violence have been confirmed in subsequent studies.[31][32]

In her book Prone to Violence, Pizzey expressed concern that so little attention was paid to the causes of interpersonal and family violence, stating, "to my amazement, nobody seemed to genuinely want to find out why violent people treat each other the way they do".

I bet any woman with go bag is themselves abusive or violent

The amount of detail he went into on how much she cried is hilarious shame it's bait

she read some blogs and decided to do it

His first mistake was allowing her access to the Internet unsupervised. We all know the feeble female brain cannot evaluate anything presented to it without becoming disoriented and confused. This is page 1 stuff.
