What is hitting?

Janineisacoolsouthernchick	I don't see how having things thrown at you like that could not be considered assault. Unfortunately, cops don't always do their jobs the way they should when handling domestic disputes. Perhaps you could consult a lawyer or call a domestic abuse hotline and get some help there? My advice to you would be to get the hell away from this man (if at all possible) unless and until he is willing to get his anger issues under control. Domestic violence like this tends to escalate...DO NOT assume it will get better unless he is willing to admit he has a problem and gets help. No one should have to put up with that kind of crap. I'm sure he would not appreciate it if he did that to you. I wish you all the best.

Joie	That is hitting! Any sort of physical abuse is wrong, and you do not deserve it! Perhaps your police just do not feel like dealing with the situation, but you need to leave him! You do not need to keep yourself in a situation where a man is physically AND mentally abusing you like your husband is. He will not change, and you do not have to stay married to him! Please leave him! Move in with any family or friends that you have, or get your own place. There are also tons of women's shelters that help women in cases just like you, don't be afraid to go to them for help! You can also press charges against your husband for abuse, and at least get a restraining order against him so he has to stay away from you! If you need help doing this stuff, then just go to your local women's shelter and ask for help, or any nearby church will be happy to help you with all of this. Please do not stay with this man, because it could get much worse untill you are exactly as you described- bleeding to death. Good luck and God bless!

x_0nend0nly_x	hitting is him putting your hands on you. like slapping you smacking you anywhere. but him throwing all of that at you is highly disrespectful and i dont see why you put up with it. but love makes you do crazy things. goodluck though.

nataliebherr	And your still with him? I don't feel sorry for people who continue to stay with people who abuse them. Sorry, eventually it becomes your your fault.

Tina	I have no clue where you live but that is a crock of crap if the police are telling you that you are not in danger and that is not considered hitting! You need to get out of there and do not go back! He will end up killing you someday.

Sin	Your probably lying. s lie all the time, they are scary liers. My sister lied and said I burnt her with a iron when she was little. She was lying to get out of trouble. She does anything for self gain. My aunt and mother have done similar things not to me but other people. Like my mom used to make me work when I was 8 and take all my money. Later she said when I asked her about it that I had offered to give it to her when I clearly did not. A lot of s have psychotic tempers, and are mentally unstable. Thus, the police get a lot of these calls. If you are not lying, just move out. Don't be stupid and stick around.

gingygirl	Hitting is hitting - with a fist or an object. I find it hard to believe that the police are doing nothing to help - the house must look a wreck when they come over...what is the full story here. And frankly why are you worried about the definition of hitting when you are being abused - get a restraining order and have him thrown out of the house - or you move. Leave and stop worrying about what is or isn't hitting. And if these are all the facts then you need to call the police captain and talk to him that his police staff is not doing their job protecting you from a nut, and then do your job and LEAVE

mafiosu	Are you waiting for the police to tell you it is OK to leave? If you stay you are abusing yourself. Get out now before he decides to hit your with a bullet!

.	Do you actually wait to start bleeding?? I advise you to look for a marriage counseling or try an association in your country which supports wifes/women being hit by their husbands. Protect yourself, you don't deserve to be hit, just as no other woman deserves this. I wish you all the best.

jonnyhardway	I would think a coffee cup counts. Assault is assault. Get some advice from a local women's group. Here's a number to call where I live: (775) 329-4150

hollybear	Hitting isn't the only thing that constitutes spousal abuse... police officers know that... so this is weird!

terry a	you obviously don't live in manitoba! here any physical touch, a simple touch is domestic assault. it has now been amended to include a threatening tone of voice! sometimes we can go too far in trying to protect abuse victims, as it works both ways. hubby can say he reacted in self defense to your wordsd

shoppinglikemadd	hooney the law is messed up.. thats why so many people get killed even though they have orders for them to stay away.. the LAW is dumb! i'm so sorry your going through that.. i would get away and out of that if i were you

yaguru	when there is evidence that you have been hit...like a mark or balck eye or fat lip of something. Someone throwing a book or a piece of paper at you is pretty crazy but not hitting

luvlisteningtomusic	If you do not like it then I suggest you get the heck out of this relationship. You do not have to put up with a man who is doing this to you. You have options. Calling the police everytime he is throwing a papercup at you isn't going to solve your problem because there is no mark that shows up. You have to leave him.

Real Grave Digger 74	thats not hitting,but it is deffenitly battery! if i did that,they would arrest me soooo fast,i do not understand why they do nothing.. but on the other hand,wtf are you still doing with him?? leave!! get away from him fast before it gets too bad to be stoped good luck

XRatedMisfit	hitting is when your husband physcially stikes you with his hand, fist or feet ... what is happening to you is you are having things thrown at you, which is still not right, but it isn't hitting.

Freedle S	What is leaving? Pack your bags and leave. You should not be around him. He is an abusive man and hasn't any respect for you or himself. Hit the road babe... fs

SHE??I	Hmm no idea... You should call them and ask. That should be considered hitting.

Look Away, I'm Hideous	just try to get away from him, can you stay with a relative? he sounds dangerous

M.	omg that IS hitting! you have to continue calling the cops, get out, and get help somewhere else. get other ppl involved, or go to another form of help than the police. this is wrong.... very wrong, and not fair to you. this is hitting, abuse, etc... and not healthy. good luck!!

Johnny A	And you are still with him why....?

sheloves_dablues	The answer is, "yes, he hits me." Honey, if you've had to call the police because he's assaulting you, why are you still there? You need to get out before you find yourself in the unfortunate situation of bleeding to death. This man is not going to stop.

imkevlar (boycott ignorance)	That's called "assault". Tell the cops and have him arrested, if they don't, tell them you will sue them for not enforcing the law.

Kute_N_Pretti	He is abusing u...whether its with his bare hands or an object he is hitting u....get out now...b4 it gets 2 serious....Good Luck.... ~Peace and Blessings~

Andrew	Hitting is hitting if you get hit with something, whether that be a fist, an open hand, a newspaper or a transmission.

â™¥ Embracing Optical Freedom â™¥	That is hitting! If this angers you so much, why are you still with him? Hint hint, wink wink LOSE HIM!

johanne	Why are you even asking a question like this? Why are you still in this relationship? Forget the police and get out before he kills you.

garrettguyyy	If he hits you with his hand. Then just say that. Dont say he threw stuff at me.

Been There Done That	Girl, You are being abused.....now what do you want to do with this information?
