Abstract
This study presents the personal testimonies of male British ex-Armed Forces personnel
who have experienced violence and abuse victimization that was perpetrated
by civilian female partners. In this research, we argue that to embark upon any
understanding of the domestic lives of military personnel, an appreciation of the
linkages to the cultural context of the military institution is necessary.
Understanding the influence of the military institution beyond the military domain
is crucial. We unveil the nature and character of the violence and abuse and how the
servicemen negotiated their relationships. In doing so, we highlight the embodiment
of military discipline, skills, and tactics in the home—not ones of violence which may
be routinely linked to military masculinities; rather ones of restraint, tolerance, stoicism,
and the reduction of a threat to inconsequential individual significance.
