I do think it is different between men and women, but sometimes a guy does need help in a situation like this simply because they don't know what to do.
I've had a friend in a similar situation... Not so much the physical abuse, but very much mental. And she also threatened to kill herself.. It got to the point where they were both pretty suicidal.
It sounds immasculating from an outside party to hear that a man is on the wrong side of an abusive relationship, but people assume that its physical when most of the time its mental abuse.
