Would never stick around after something like that.

I'm a woman. If a man hit me once, HOW he hit me would be a determination of whether I waited around for the second time. If it was a slap in the arm or something, because I was being a major beyotch, maybe I'd feel I deserved it. If he'd been verbally abusive and just flat out hit me....one of us would be gone...probably him, because I'd call the law.

A woman should NOT hit a man either, however, again....what were the circumstances leading up to it. Did you provoke her to the point of lashing out? Some people are real button pushers and if you're doing that...provoking her, well...then you don't care about her and you should get the heck out of there.

People who push the limits with each other, constantly provoking or carelessly hurting each other with their words or actions need to get the heck away from each other. They're toxic to each other. Again, if you're doing something that's making her mad enough to hit you. STOP IT! If she's just the kind of person who has an anger control problem...get out of there if she won't get help. Just don't expect her to get help when you're the one causing the problem.

If you're hitting her....STOP IT! If she decides to leave you even though you apologize, good for her. How is she supposed to believe you won't hit her again? It's the same thing if she's hitting you, even if she apologizes. Just leave. If you're making each other that miserable at least have the decency and courage to end the relationship.

Well the logical answer would be leave if someone is hitting you and that once is one too many times.

But, life isn't always logical and leaving is not always easy.

I'd leave and file charges against him. I would never give someone a second chance to assault me.

I don't know. I don't think I could ever look at him the same, but I'm too forgiving and I could see myself staying after the first time. However, it is also depends on how severe it was. Was it just a slight push or a slap on a shoulder or did it leave me black and blue.

You shouldn't stay with the man if he beat your for any reason!

And I don't...
But I would never make a definite statement that I would leave right away. It's not that easy.

See I don't understand that.

If I came to the understanding that I was in an abusive relationship, either through help or other, I'd pick up my junk and leave immediately.

"It's not that easy!" "You don't know him like I do!" I've heard these before, and it just baffles my mind.

Staying implies that you accept the behavior and that you feel you deserved it.

One, we've never had an argument like that.

But if it happened, I would walk away and there wouldn't be a second time.

I've told that to my daughter repeatedly, too. If a man hits you and you stay, he sees that as permission to hit you again. Simply walk out the door and never come back.
