The use of violence and suicide by men in the study took place primarily during times of separation, divorce, and custody battles. Men appeared to believe that threats of self-harm would force women into changing their behaviour.

The researchers said…

“Together with other forms of physical, emotional, economic and psychological controlling behaviour, threats of self-harm and suicide were intended to instill fear and exert power over women.”

Quite right RS.

Beasts!

I have seen this kind of suicide threat a few times - all but once it was woman trying to control a man.  Usually stuff like swallow enough paracetamol to be dangerous and then go straight to A&E, and oddly always seemed to be couples that seemed to actually enjoy fighting.

Thank you for pointing this out, it's amazing how one side everything in academia is.
