My girlfriend hits me; can I get in trouble if I hit her back?

My girlfriend hits me; can I get in trouble if I hit her back?

Is it ever okay to hit a girl? Whenever we get into any argument about the smallest of things, she always ends up hitting me (punch in the face, slap, kick, scratch, etc.) Then she jumps back when she sees that i'm pissed and yells "you can't hit a girl"...I have spoken to her countless times that we should just talk out our problems but I'm getting to the point that I might just strike back. I don't want to break up with her and she is against any sort of therapy. Will I get in trouble with the law if I hit her back after she hit me?

It is not okay to hit a girl or a guy for that matter. Just leave her. Sounds like one of you is going to eventually land in jail because of the violence and it will most likely be you...That's just how the system is structured. End it now before it gets to that point. Good luck.

If she calls the cops ... even if you are protecting yourself , once you hit her you'll probably both spend the night in jail.
Best thing is don't hit her ... When she hits you (leaves a mark) , then call the cops on her .
Honestly , your relationship sounds pretty sick .

You've got a major red flag here, dude. It sounds like your girlfriend wants you to hit her and let me tell you something right now: No matter what happens, cops will always believe the woman.

Saying "she hit me first" or "it was self defense" is moot. Cops ALWAYS believe the girl and you'll be the one in trouble. Honestly, I would ditch this girl because you dont deserve to get hit over trivial matters.

Throw a glass of cold water in her face. You'd be better off without her.

It's very likely, especially if marks are left. If the police are called due to the fight, both of you may end up getting taken to jail. Your best bet is to just walk away if you can and not engage in a physical altercation with a female. It sounds like this has happened numerous times, I don't see why you would stay with somebody who thinks so little of you that they'd hit you. I've investigated a lot of domestic violence situations and they never get better on their own. Something drastic has to happen- an arrest, separation, death, etc. Tell her she has to go to anger management counseling or you will leave her. Also, let her know if she is ever violent with you again that you will call the police and file charges. Good Luck

she can get in trouble for hitting you. but even if she hits you first you can get in trouble for hitting her, even in self defense becuase you can walk away. if shes going to hit you and not want any theorpy your better off with out her

Yep, you likely will. And it could esculate to someone getting really hurt or dead.

If I were you, I'd think long and hard about why you want to be with her. She clearly isn't interested in working out things, and her hitting you and then taunting you seems like a really bad sign.

You cannot hit her, but holding her down to stop her from hitting you might be acceptable.

But I think you should reconsider leaving her. If you leave her for a short time, it may be enough for her to understand she must change.

But woman have killed men before. Never have a gun in your house. You may think it may not happen, but don't bet your life on it.

She's trying to get you in hot water, get away from her now!!! You also might want to get a protective order on her so that it is on record.

If you hit her it is domestic battery and you could go to jail. If she hits you it is domestic battery and she could go to jail. Why do you want to be with someone who treats you that way? Love doesn't equal violence and abuse.


Juggulette
no, if she hits you more then 2 times at once you can hit her back.
