Get the f##k away from each other,violence should never be part of a relationship.


CocoLoco
you DUMP him - thats what u do!!


mamgu.......
never and that goes the other way round as well, no excuse for violence.


Dogsbody
Get out of it!
I don't think it's ever 'ok', but If I punched a guy I wouldn't be too suprised if he punched me back. Doesn't mean I would respect him for it.
If a relationship has become violent from either side, walk away. It's only going to get worse. I speak from experience.

It is never OK for a man to hit a woman or vice versa. I think women don't seek help because they are so used to the beatings they take that they think it's actually their fault in the first place. The man makes them think so little of themselves that they don't usually seek help.

No, of course it's not justified. Ever.
If you are in a violent relationship then you should get out fast! And take any legal steps that may be necessary to protect yourself.

you wouldnt never put up with that abuse , you need to get out of that relationship before it gets worse

Its never ok for anyone to hit anyone.

Get out, it takes courage and its not always easy but there is plenty of help out there nowadays so there is no excuse.

Also get an injunction on the man so that he can not come within a certain distnace of you without being arrested.

Also report him to the police so that they have you on record as being a victim of domestic abuse. They can put you in touch with people who can help.

Violence has no part in a relationship. The only sort of fighting should be play fighting.

I think you need to sort out your problems or move on. If you get stuck seek help.

LEAVE AND DON'T COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A man that hits on a woman is an animal and will never change, I don't care how many times he say he is sorry, abusers love this words I'M SORRY.. They hide behind this and then blame the episodes on you. They prey on anything to get the chance to hit on his spouse. It gives them power to see fear in their eyes. The most important thing is that a woman should realize when she is in an abusive relationship, she has to know that leaving is the only way to free herself and most of all claim her pride a woman who stays becomes a slave a robot for this beast and the longer she stays the more incapable she becomes on believing in her self and they end up either to submissive to ever get out or of course the most common one DEAD!!! I left my first husband 18 years ago, I was seventeen and pregnant, I took my baby and ran to Florida to my parents, my son he is now a Marine and a loving man with a good heart because we toughed him to respect women to love them, I made it my business to tell him from childhood that men are physically stronger than women and that hiting on someone helpless would make him a monster. Thank God I had the good sense of taking my baby and run. I'm so proud of him... I hope that if you or anyone you know is in abusive situation that you can get out run and start new. It's the only way. ABUSE IS NEVER OK.. GOOD LUCK.

I wouldn't tolerate it for a moment! I know a woman who lived 52 years in a very abusive marriage. In all those years he beat her, and when she had her son the son learned this behavior and the father encouraged the beating on his mother! She had been beaten so badly she's got improperly healed bones/joints for not seeking any medical help. She resides in a nursing home and how she got there--he was going to leave her to die with some bad head wound. Her clothes were smell of urine, socks that were stuck to her feet black with dirt the list goes on... He's finally been sent to jail after getting away with such abuse for all these years and the son too....she cant do much for herself now, she cant walk, she needs assistance in most of her daily activities and she sure is a nice person. You don't want to turn out like her! Get OUT and enjoy your life free of fear of the next time you'll get a kick, or a punch. Fried Green Tomatoes the movie depicts in part an abusive husband, it really is part of the plot...and any guy/woman who is abusive will get theirs--Karma! Do report it to the police so they have it on record so if court becomes a reality they have proof and a tally of all the damage done to put him behind bars!!!!!

On the whole I'd say no - But......This isn't gonna be popular

If some nutty cow was laying into me I'd probably give them a backhand across the face. She'd have to be pretty psycho though for me to do that.

its never ok

Absolutely not! I believe women have equal rights as men do.(this is coming from a guy)

But this doesn't mean a man can simply hit a women. Violence can be settled quickly in a relationship; simply talking to the person can end it just like that. Other times it can be a little more difficult; prehaps staying away from your partner for a short erm or if all goes bad end the relationship.


kyltd
you know it is not okay and there is no reason for it, would it be okay for you to hit him or him to hit his boss, no excuse is the right one and no excuse should make you forgive, actually hes not much of a man to hit a woman !

i have lived through this.....in reverse.
I thought it was kind of funny at first.....she was so small and me being a guy and all........ but it will progress.
the night i looked down the barrel of a 357 mag. it was no longer funny.
call the cops. let him see what trouble it causes him. they will force him to get help...even if you are still not together.
be open to friends....his also. and family.
never keep it quite.
tell someone you both know today.........
it might be enough to stop it. tell him you won't keep it a secret.
tell him in front of friends or the law.
some will stop if it is put in the open......
if it don't.......get out .....
love don't hurt......

Coming from a home where I awoke to a stupid man (father) hitting a wonderful woman (mother) for no reason other than he just being upset (nothing to do with her at all) I am completely against a man ever hitting a woman no matter what kind of relationship or problem....

It's NEVER okay for a man to hit a woman. If a man hit me, I'd grab the first thing I could get my hands on and knock the wholly **** out of him and that'd be the end of that relationship.

It is never okay for either partner to hit the other one but, since I was raised to never ever ever hit a woman no matter what, I would say that it's double indemnity to hit a woman. It is up to you to break the chain of violence. If you are being hit, don't fight back, just get out. If there are children in the picture, you are teaching them that it is acceptable for a man to hit a woman and so you children would be inclined to continue what they believe to be acceptable.
My sister's first husband was abusive and she allowed him to be so because she had been taught that divorce was such a dirty thing. she finally kicked that loser to the curb. Her 2nd husband started down the same path and she sent him packing before he had the chance to get worse. She has now met a christian man with good values and they are very happy together. Don't waste time on an abusive simpleton when you deserve better.

No, but then again, the same has to be said for a woman hitting a man. We should not tolerate either.


WitchMitch
Ask yourself this first........Is it ok for someone to hit you?

Relationship or not - the answer is NO!!!!

If you're asking this question - you or someone you know is in trouble - GET HELP!!


Richard
No its never OK !, get out now while you can otherwise it'll just get worse !!.
