What should you do if your girlfriend slaps you in the face when you do not know it's going to happen and she broke your jaw?

Answer 1

It depends on why she slapped you in the first place.

Did you say or do something she didn't like?

Or was it out of nowhere for no reason.

I suppose you could sue her.

Answer

Depending on how much you love her, your relationship has either hit a major roadblock that will take a long time to get over, or is doomed completely.

It's not easy to forgive someone when they physically attack you and seriously injure you. Even if you want to forgive them, sometimes you just can't.

Once I put a cigarette out on my boyfriend's face. He said he forgave me, and I think he really did try to forgive me, but he was just too angry, and a week or two later he dumped me.

Problem is, unless one of you is inherently violent and abusive, a violent attack between lovers usually indicates that there is already a serious problem with the relationship. Women especially are taught to repress their anger. Women are supposed to be "nice" all the time. But all of that anger has to come out sometime. If it stays bottled up for too long, it may finally be released in the form of a violent attack.

Obviously, I don't know either of you, but I would guess that she hit you because she's been really angry at you for a long time, but never knew how to tell you. My ex-boyfriend always thought he was smarter than me. It was infuriating. He thought he was smarter than me, and he thought he was too good for me. I thought about dumping HIM a million times, but I was just too crazy about him.

So finally, one night, we were in a bar, I was drunk, and he called me an idiot. He was just joking, but I sort of snapped, and next thing I knew, I was putting my cigarette out on his cheek.

I was devastated when he dumped me, but I think the relationship would have ended pretty soon anyway. Burning his face was just a shortcut to breaking up. If I hadn't burned his face, he probably would've dumped me anyway -- as I said, he always thought he was smarter than me and too good for me -- but the relationship could have dragged on for months before that finally happened.

If you don't feel like you can ever look at her the same way again, then ending the relationship is probably for the best. At the very least, you should probably take some time apart to let your anger cool off and sort out your feelings. It may be that she doesn't really want to be with you anymore, either, but just doesn't realize it yet.

If you take some time apart, and you find that you both really miss each other and can't stand being without each other, then maybe the relationship can work.

Edited later to add: By the way, in case you were wondering, he made a full recovery: no scar. I sort of exaggerated a little there: I didn't actually put the cigarette OUT on his face. I burned his cheek with it, but it was still lit afterwards. There wasn't any pressure applied, and the whole thing took like, 2 seconds. So luckily for him, he doesn't have a scar in the middle of his face.
