If you husband or significant other slapped you around in a fit of anger would you?

[WriterDom]

Show him the highway

Try to work things out.

where is the choice for slapping them back?

 

[Shaq]

If my wife or girlfriend got abusive in anger I would try to work it out....THE FIRST TIME....after that I'd get the hell away from the psycho.....

 

[Rubyfruit]

I think I'd dump him. I've never been hit by a man without my consent, so I really don't know how I'd react.

[Sillyman]

Depends on what the extent of the violence was and what provoked it.

 

[SexySlut2]

I was wondering the same thing!

 

[Calamity Jane]

Seriously? I might just snap and kill him. No one will ever hit me again and get away with it.

If I didn't kill him, he'd never see me or our children again. Violence toward someone you're supposed to love isn't something that can be 'worked out'.

Where is the choice for throwing his sorry butt in jail?

 

[Caressa]

maybe it's easy for me to say from where I'm sitting...but if it happens once it could happen again...don't think it's worth the chance and the longer you stick around, the easier it is to make excuses not to go.

 

[Private Vasquez]

After kickin' his ass, I'd show him the door. It happens once, it'll happen again. And I don't play that.

 

[Basia]

Anyone raises a hand to me and they had better have their bags packed.


Shaq, I love the new Av!

 

[red_rose]

If he'll hit you once, he'll hit you again.

Mah momma taught me not to take shit from NO man.

(but, seriously... violence is not a joke. If it got to the point of physical outbursts, there is no way in hell I'd stay.)

 

[LukkyKnight]

I went with dump his sorry ass even though I don't have a husband - on the principle that even if working things out is in the cards the first step is to draw the fucking line.

 

[MissTaken]

I dumped his sorry ass before his "little anger management" problem escalated to the point where he struck me.

It was the best choice I have ever made for me or my little ones.

 

[bored1]

By s/o I figure that includes women. My first wife smacked me once, I politely explained that if she ever hit me again I would leave.. She didnt believe me. I could have knocked her into next week but I was raised that you dont hit women. I left her.

 

[Sillyman]

Makes me wonder what the point of being alive is if you have anger management problems.

 

[WriterDom]

I was just curious. According to Marxist, bdsm in any form is sick and a perversion. But if I remember correctly he started a thread where hitting a woman was cool. If it only happened once in a while.

Yeah!

BD/SM in the context of a sexual relationship is one thing, smacking someone out of anger for whatever reason is different. At least it is to me.

 

[OpposingBalance]

FUCK HIM!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, sorry, back to your question...
Just what is the situation anyways?
This is a difficult one...
I don't think that men should hit women, but then, if a woman hits a man first, isn't it his right to defend himself?
(I know that men are bigger and stronger, but what if you go at him with a steak knife or something?)
I think that if a man is attacked by a woman first, then he has a right to defend himself, within reason...(I know, sounds terribly akin to a double standard, doesn't it?)
But hey, lets face it, thats nature. Males are bigger and stronger (usually) and that has to be taken into consideration!
Anyways, back to the begining...Leave his ass!

 

[Tammygurl]

I've lived in an abusive relationship and have sworn never to let any man hit me again.

I'd show him the door, no second chances here.

Yes!
Here here(sp)!

After leaving an abusive marriage

my advice to everyone would be to leave. It's a cyclical syndrome that will not improve. For the sake of your health and your children's (physical and mental) -- get out quickly. There's so much more to life than living like that.

 

[KillerMuffin]

Well, this is assuming I live through it. He's gone, out, see ya.
