If he is needing to defend himself against a vicious and dangerous attack, he has a right to do what is necessary to defend himself. If that means knocking someone down to avoid a serious injury, he has the right. If the attacker strikes their head while falling, they should have thought about the result beforehand.
I wouldn't say that was abusive because you bit him first.
Honey for that long, I would of left when he first hit me. No matter what if a guy hits you even if he apoligises, he will keep going.
well first of all,... was it like an abusive hit or playful? cuz i playful tap/ smack could just mean flirtation and trying to get your attention.:) an abusive hit would mean,... bad news obviously and you should say away from him.:(
Hitting them anywhere is abusive.
Yes, his father was quite abusive.
First he'll start out nice to the point where you like him so much you wont want to break up with him. Then he'll start being abusive mental first little by little. Then he'll start to actually hit and push you. But he'll do all of this gradually.
Usually, the girl won't know a guy is abusive when they first start dating. If the girl knows when they first start dating probably thinks she can change him. In the cases that the girl doesn't know until after they've began dating, its probably because she loves him or is afraid that he might try to kill her if she leaves. DO NOT HIT GIRLS! Abuse is not cool, even if the girl is stupid enough to stay with you... It doesn't mean she enjoys your abuse, ya jackass!
First off 'ex' means the relationship is over! You should not even be near this person who is abusive and it's time you moved on in your life. In relationships where one is abusive it is human instinct to protect oneself and some abused victims will either stay and take that abuse silently; fight along with the abuser or leave. If you decide to stay in the relationship and have the strength to stand up to the abuser then you sink to the bottom of the barrel because you are fighting with survival instincts. Get out of this relationship!
Fight back! Hit hard, fast have no fear!
Nope. Because she she might get hurt even more. And the abuser might think it is ok to hurt them because they won't mind. Once they hit you, you should get out of that relationship.
call child services?
Its going to be hard, but you need to not yell at her in a load voice that still gets to me 2 years later. Then don't ever raise your hands at her even though you say you would never hit her. The raising of the hands is abusive enough. EARN HER TRUST! that's the most important thing to do, but it will be the hardest. You can help her heal by restoring her trust and the only way to do it is by NOT being abusive to her.
