although everyone will say that you should press charges and that he'll do it again - he might not. I would immediately seek anger management for him and speak to him about what happened. I would tell him (and mean it) that if it ever happens again you will press charges. |

Don't push him first, be the bigger person and apologize maybe he will too.
Why does everyone have have to elevate the issues? Bring some love into the world. |

What makes you think you can push him? Women want equality so don't cry if you push someone and then you get hit. |

Well you did hit him first so you wouldn't get anywhere. |

Actually,pushing him is classified as an assault.Charges could become mutual.Forget the law issue and just leave. |

You actually touched him first,,,,,this is a double standard,,,I don't beliveve in violence,,period. But you really are the one to blame. Next time control yourself. |

Press charges. You want that stuff well documented. God forbid he ever fights you for custody of your daughter, you want to establish that he is a violent and volitile person. |

You would be arrested, too. You can not push him. |

Talk to a lawyer about this. There are too many "if's" in this post to advise otherwise.
Personally, I would leave him. Since, by pushing him out of your way, you touched him in a threatening manner (or that's how he'll put it) I don't know if you have enough cause to press charges - but I would definitely leave him.
If he'll hit you once - he'll hit you twice - and over something much less important than pushing someone out of your way.
However, let this be a lesson - keep your hands to yourself if at all possible. |

What do you mean by "hit"? Did he simply push you after you pushed him or did he strike you? If he punched or slapped you, GET OUT NOW!
If it was just a minor push, I suggest your BOTH seek anger management therapy. |

I would press charges, seriously and consider sueing for full and complete custody of your daughter (or at least supervised visits), if he hits your, what makes you think he won't hit your daughter if she ever gets mouthy or angry with him. |

if you could have walk around him or passed him in another way besides pushing him then you wasn't being held against your will there fore it would be self defense |

I don't think men should every hit a woman out of anger.
BUT if you didn't bruise or get hurt than there's really nothing to press charges about. I assume you are already divorced or otherwise not married. So just relax and avoid him as much as possible. |

If you started the confrontation by pushing you probably aren't going to get anywhere. For the sake of your daughter you need to have a civil arrangement with her father. |

If you want to live with him and you love him, this single incident must be ignored, he continues to behave like this you have to press for charges..... |

Pssst.....you put your hands on him first. I'm sure the police will believe you when you tell them, "Hey, I just gently shoved him out of the way". Rule of thumb...'Play nice and everyone keeps their hands to themselves'! Give out what you want to receive!! |

Do not give him the impression you are a punchbag. if he sees that he can get away with it, he might do it again and worse. Talk to him and earn your respect from him, if he does it again PRESS charges, he needs to know that he canot treat you like that and get away with it. Do not be afraid to stand up for yourself!!
Good luck!!! |

You should leave him thats what..Why would you even think about staying with a man who hits you...Do you want your daughter growing up living with a violent man cause this wont be the last time he will hit you if you stay. |

I don't think either of those are the best options.
A. You can't ignore him for the rest of your life unless you decide to get rid of your daughter.
B. Only press charges if there is actually something that can be seen.
C. If he does it again, then I say press charges...it would be good to find a witness though.
Oh, and where did he hit you? |

You touched him first. Be sure to mention that YOU started it if you call the cops. That way you'll understand next time to keep your hands to yourself. |

Leave him. No one should ever hit anyone and especially a woman. |
|

Heidi

You should at least file a report... that way, there will be some type of record if he tries to hurt someone else. Pressing charges would be even better, but it's up to you.
Either way, I hope you don't even THINK about ever hooking up with him again. He's bad news. Good luck dear. |

turn him in no man has the right to hit you |
|

just me
|
did he hit you on purpose or did he try to push you and hit you on accident? If it hurt i would press charges and if he does it often you need to leave or hes gonna think he can do this all the time since you dont do anything about it! Good luck and hope you do the right thing! |

NO ONE SHOULD MISTREAT ANY ONE,PRESS CHARGES FOR WHAT BUT YOU CAN NOT BE PUSHING HIM EITHER YOU BOTH DID THIS IF YOU CAN NOT LIVE WITH HIM YOU MAY HAVE TO LEAVE THIS MAKES IT HARD,,FIGHTING IS NEVER GOOD. . |

Press charges, don't let him get away with it. B/C if you do he'll think he can do it all the time. Teach his a** you don't ever hit a woman. Not ever |

I would press charges just to teach him a lesson it's not cool for a man to put his hands on a woman |
