Is domestic violence more common in same sex relationships?

Hello all,

I?ll focus on same sex male relationships in this question.

There?s no denying that a large majority of men would be more likely to hit another man, as opposed to a woman.

Indeed, if a woman approached me on the street attempting to mug me, my flight response would kick in. Or at least I would make an effort to detain her. However, if a man approached me on the street, I?d be far more likely to fight back.

I was wondering if the same applies to a relationship.
Being heterosexual myself, I?ve been brought to my knees emotionally by a female partner. I?ve been made very angry in heated arguments? But I?d never dream of hitting my partner; even if they cheated on me.

However, I wonder how I would react if I was homosexual and my partner deeply hurt me, say after cheating on me. I think I?d be far more likely to express my anger physically.

So yes, as the question says? Is domestic violence more common in same sex relationships?

May I also note that I am not an aggressive person.

Thanks!

Not at all, actually it?s less common. While you may see a women as less than an equal I see them as an equal a women attacks me and I will hit back.
