She likes to hit?

Sadly, I can say that I used to be VERY rude to the guy I'm with. We are still fairly early in our relationship, but I remember he would throw a slur at me and I would get very ill. This is actually the first SERIOUS relationship I've been in, so I believe a lot of it was my mom always telling me to not let a man run over me, and I never have. I knew it was wrong though, I would always feel bad afterwards and would apologize. Hurting him at the time I was doing it though never bothered me, that's all I could focus on. It was terrible.

I have cut mine out currently and doing more things to keep the relationship healthy, and we've been much happier!

Have they been together for a short time? because maybe she just isn't secure and stable with him yet.

Lol. I have a friend just like this. His first girlfriend would hit him all the time. I once saw her throw a remote control at his face and left him bleeding. I saw her tear shirts off him (not in the good way).

I wish I could say it will get better, but in my buddy's case, he dated girl after girl like this. His current is a girl he met a bar. How did he know she was the one? She punched him in the mouth. (and she is like 100lbs soaking wet, maybe) I used to tell her he said things about her at the bar just to watch him get punched. But then it got old after a night or two. Then I realized he just has issues. (her too, obviously)

When I see this, I'm appalled if not entertained a bit. Some guys like that kind of thing I guess. I say tell him how you feel but don't have any expectations. He has to sort this one out on his own. At least in my buddy's case it will most likely only be another 6 months tops before he moves on. He's like a twisted soap opera really. Any of this sound familiar or is your friend more normal?
