?There is no excuse of hitting a woman.  Regardless if that is my best guy I would hit him back.

people fight and us women are so emotional...we get over it though...physical abuse isn't by any means right...see what drives her to get so pissed and help her thruogh it..it also helps to walk away on a self time out when things get heated...love without fights are in fantasy worlds only..everone has altercations it's how we deal with them and how we choose to forgive...good luck dear...she may need counceling for her anger issues it only helps...no diss intended...anger managment can be a good thing even when you think nothings wrong...higher learning is your result and thats always a good thing.

Well there are a couple ways to take care of it. If he lives with you, you can force him to move out (call the police if necessary). If you live with him, then you should move. If he hits you, then you should file charges on him and get a restraining order. Abusers were usually abused as a child so they don't see what they do as wrong. If he is young enough, some success has been found through drastic counseling measures. Maury Povich and Montel both have done the shock treatment on men like that. Taking them to see women in morgues who were abused to the point of death. If he loves you then he would stop. But you deserve much better. No woman deserves to be physically, verbally, emoptionally, or mentally abused. My advice is to send him to jail for awhile to see if he changes his ways.

Yes, it is possible to survive. I had to learn a new lesson in the true meaning of forgiveness and he had to learn the true meaning of faithfulness. The problem is both of you have to be willing to make the steps to overcome it. The hardest thing is rebuilding trust.

you should never have punched a woman.  you deserve for her to leave you.  men who abuse never change... go to counseling and try to work out your issues.

According to public perception yes. In my personal experience not every day. Not unless it's a new relationship.

Slapping or hitting another -- especially male versus female -- is completely wrong no matter what the circumstance!  Do not let him bully you -- that isn't love -- it's control!!!\n\nIf he loves you, why is he causing you pain?!  \n\nLet him go -- and leave him alone!

yes it can, but you both have to be honest and trust each other. good communication is also another key factor in making this kind of relationship work.

Studies have shown that men who are abusive rarely change.  As much as you may love him, and as much as he may love you, it's not worth risking your life to be with him.

I don't believe in abuse of women or anybody unless it is in self-defense.  HOWEVER, I have playfully slapped female friends when they were getting a little annoying, but the slaps were playful and painless.  I have punched guys, though, and got into lots of fights with guys when I was younger.\n\nDon't hit girls unless it's playful and harmless, and the girls know that it is just for fun.  Otherwise, it is abuse.  If your sanity is in jeopardy, stop hanging around with those girls for a while and cool off.

First of all, you probably ought to learn to spell- the word is "poll".  Second, why would men and women hitting each other EVER be ok?

THANK YOU!! women hit hard and men are beaten a lot adn the women are never punished but if a man touches someones shoulder to hard BAM! you get a restraining order and a filthy record. the answer is do the woman thing and call the police. she as a woman is hitting u and putting u in the position of the classic woman. so do what the classic abused woman shoudl do and call the police. have HER arrested...damn good of you..

i dint think any woman deserves to get hit by a man they usually stay because they have low self esteem and they feel like they cant make it on their own or they have never depended on themselves so they cannot live without a man thats why its important for a woman to have an education and her own independacy so they can leave when it is tine to

Not unless you think he won't hurt you. Gay or straight, he can still pack a punch... or a weapon. And it would serve you right.

This doesn't sound like a healthy relationship. You need to, sooner or later, bring up the problem to this other person, but if there's the risk for physical damage bring someone capable of dealing it out... who's on your side. A bodyguard of sorts, ne?\n\nIf physical damage isn't apparent, the best thing to do is face the music. I'm sorry I couldn't answer the way you probably would've like me to answer, but I've been in a slightly similar situation. Sure, the other party/person/whatever will probably be angry, but there's nothing you can do about that.\n\nI'll sum up:\n*Doesn't take out anger on you: Talk to them. Explain your problem as objectively as you can, with clear benevolent (good) intent.\n*Takes out anger on you: Bring a bodyguard.
