When Jacob Noll* was growing up in the Midwest, he could never have imagined he would experience domestic violence. "I was a straight, white guy in a normal, small town that kind of catered to people like me," he says wryly. "My family was really close. My folks are still together. There were no big family problems that would have given me some kind of a window into how dark the world can be." Yet Noll spent several years in such darkness after falling in love with Courtney, a woman he met online.
雅克布•诺尔在中西部长大,他从未想过自己会被家暴。“我是直男,很正常的一个白人小伙儿,我长大的小镇也养育了和我一样的人,”他苦涩的说道。“我的家人关系很好。我的家人们现在还住在一起。家庭内部没有什么大的矛盾,因此我没有机会知道世界是如何的黑暗。”但是诺尔在网上认识了考特尼,并爱上了她,从而度过了好几年的黑暗时光。
Courtney was a year older than Noll, and from the start, he was enchanted by her presence online. She was pretty, he says, but more than that, she found him funny and engaging. Noll says he "made a play" to meet Courtney in person - they lived a few hours apart from each other - and was disappointed when she declined. But a year later, in 2006, she emailed Noll "out of the blue." She was just out of a relationship and asked if he wanted to get together. "I ran at it," he says of her offer. "It was an adventure to get to know her because she lived far away."
