reasons contributing to Ari’s abusive way
Question
one: reasons contributing to Ari’s abusive ways
Several issues could have triggered Ari’s abusive ways. Key among them being
lack of appreciation exhibited by his partner. Ari left work exhausted and hoped for tranquility and compassion at home. Instead, Bernadette starts nagging him from the onset and does not stop with her complaints throughout the night, frustrating Ari further. Secondly, Ari might have been had a stressful day at work, which could have triggered a sense of violence in him. The occurrence throughout the evening could have contributed further to the urge, leading to a transference that contributed
to his violence
towards his partner. Thirdly, the abuse might have been provided by the negative and stressful environment that Ari was exposed to throughout the evening. His house was made toxic by his grumpy partner, with the restaurant contributing through being noisy and crowded. After that, his partner continued with her irritable ways in the car, further trapping Ari. His on
ly escape from this toxicity was violence, which he thought would work in attracting Bernadette’s attention.
Question two: admission of guilt
Ari needed to stay in control of the situation and the narrative. This was only possible by sticking to his story for as long as was possible. This explains why he took so long before telling the truth. Besides, he might have felt ashamed of his actions, thinking th
at admission of guilt could have led to some stigma. He would not want people to wrongly brand him as abusive in a case where he did not intend to harm Bernadette.
Question three: future impact of Ari’s abusive ways
Ari might be affected by his violent means in a set on manners depending on the level of effectiveness of the counseling. The first scenario would be that Ari would recover fully and
abandon his abusive ways. This is possible when he acknowledges the problem and decides to take the initiative to change his ways. The second possibility would be that Ari fails to change his ways and goes back at it with the first chance he gets. The third case is where he develops a guilty conscience with a significant impact on his current and
future relationships. He might get haunted by his abusive ways so much that he could break away from having intimate relationships for fear of becoming abusive again.
