Is it normal to feel indifference to the situation after your husband has hit you more than once?

no, but that doesnt mean its right. Answer: It's never normal for a husband to hit his wife. Indifference is a dangerous emotion. It leaves you open for continued abuse. If you can do it safely, leave immediately. If you can't, wait until he's not around, then go. There are some really good men out there, but you don't need one to be okay. What you need is for YOU to be okay, and if you stay there, you may not be okay for long. Be careful, be smart, and GET OUT!!!

How does a husband respond to the courts when a wife files abuse charges against him when she had hit him first?

The biggest mistake most people make when someone abuses them is not report it to the police. Even if the police do little the report is there and evidence should you go to court or retain a lawyer. Even if your wife hit you first as a man you had no right to hit her! You are stronger than she is. You should have walked out of the house to cool off or gone to the police and reported her abuse. You're as guilty as she is and obviously you both have problems in your marriage which should have been rectified a long time ago. It would be to your best interest to get a lawyer.
