Should I let my boyfriend hit me?

Only if I can hit him ;)

It's good to see that you have enough respect for your man to let him hit you, and in the end, isn't that the most important thing? It's glad to see at least someone knows their place.

Honestly? By showing him you're willing to put up with it, you're showing him you don't have any respect for yourself and giving him all he needs to continue with it. Leave him now or be prepared for a life of trash.

Obviously he can't control his emotions and doesn't respect you either. If you take that from him more than once without telling him you won't allow that anymore, you're what they call an enabler. You let yourself be abused because you feel you have no where else to go, or you have no chance of a better boyfriend so you need to take whatever he gives you and like it. My advice is when a girl is with a guy that hits her for any reason other than playing, she needs to immediately realize that he think he has a right to hit her whenever things don't go right for him. Some guys will kick the wall or break something they really like. Some will hit the ones they really like or love. Those girls really have a problem on their hands and I feel sorry for those girls that let it go too long and are now afraid to get out that relationship for fear of being hit a LOT harder than ever, or even worst!

Rowdy83 said it all; I would add though, that if you're letting yourself be hit by others, then it also mans you don't value yourself as much as you should. You are young, and you got all the time in the world to discover who you are, and that you're worth much more than what you believe!

Don't let him. Honey, you NEED to get out of that relationship. Talking I bet doesn't help. You need to tell someone either in your family or someone who can get you out of that abusive situation.

there is no reason a man or woman should ever put their hands on their other/partner. no this is not okay. yes you need to leave the relationship

you are NOT a punching bag. you are a human being with feelings and should be treated like a princess, not a punching bag. you need to grow a backbone and leave this asshole. he is NOT a nice person, he is destructive not only to you but to himself. if he apologizes it's only because he wants you to stick around to punch even more. please don't think that he loves you, or cares about you because he says that he does. that's totally BS! if he did, he wouldn't be the one laying a hand on you, instead he'd be protecting you from those who want to hurt you.

wake up and smell the coffee girl! everyone here is right in saying that you SHOULD leave him. and while you're at it, file a police complaint and a restraining order. I know it sounds like it's a ridiculous idea and that you'll want to stay with him for some reason. but just think for a sec, do you want to eventually end up in a body bag because he beat you up silly that the last blow he gave you was so hard that it knocked you dead? do you really want to live your life in constant fear and misery? NO so unless you want to die because of an abusive boyfriend then gather up all the courage that you have inside and get out while you still can. someone who loves you should be letting you count the number of roses he gives you not the number of bruises from his fist.

Just let someone know, always be with someone and always be prepared to call the cops. I know he is your boyfriend, and you deserve the upper hand right now. People will trust you over him, and if you just break up with him he will do it to someone else or maybe even pursue you, so your parents the bruises, if you don't have any just tell then. Don't speak to him-- don't let him manipulate you, and get him off the streets and in court or better yet in jail. Don't let him hurt someone else the way he is hurting you.

There are so many things your relationship will impact. Your friends, will most likely become a lack there of. Your family will become disconnected, and it will be hard for you to ever think about trusting another boy again.

I am sorry you are going through this. I am glad you asked for advice, tell everyone and don't let him hurt anyone else.

your 16 ! you don't need to be in a relationship especially with someone who hits you
there is absolutely no reason for you to put up with it at all.!
he doesn't love you if he can hit you,
think about it if you hit your friends every time you didn't like there answer would they stick around? no !
get out you have a choice to stop this so get away from this relationship! he will NEVER change and I do mean NEVER no ifs and buts about it no matter what he says or how believable he will NEVER CHANGE!
your 16 your life is just beginning don't start your best years of your life with him this will have a bad effect on you in the future if you do
be strong for all the people out there who want to get out of abusive relationships but can't because its gotten so bad and they have kids
use your brain and be the smart girl I'm sure you can be and leave him

you should never let a boyfriend hit you! its only going to get worse abusive guys don't normally just change. and I'm pretty sure that he won't either.

You should never let him hit you if you do an abusive relationship will arise if he already does no matter how much it hurts you need to break it off it probably will get worse.

Please, darling, you're worth more than that. TRUST ME. I'm almost 25 and just got out of that kind of relationship. The crappy thing, these type of men DO NOT CHANGE. And the even scarier part is, the violence will probably get worse if he's already this controlling. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TELL SOMEONE! Whether it be a best friend, a co-worker, a principal, guidance counselor -- someone. Please tell someone before it's too late. Please do not end up like me and the situation I'm in (going through court because of what he did to me) -- I finally stood up and did what I knew was right. YOU CAN TOO! You're much better, much smarter and deserve a man and a relationship that respects you AND your opinion. If you want any other advice in this department, please feel free to get a hold of me ok? Good luck to you -- always remember you have to take care of #1 first. You absolutely have to take care of yourself.
