That is really sad. What makes it absolutely even more awful is how many women have been in that or a situation like that and are too embarrassed/ashamed to speak out, tell their partner, report it. What about the women who are raped by their spouse/partner - it can be even more difficult to find support because too many people don't beleive rape can occur in that situation.
I don't think there is a single woman out there who hasn't experienced the "Oh God! There is a man near me that could potentially harm me" fear. I know I have on many occassions.
