my dad slapped his ex wife back once when she slapped him (he was in his early twenties and she was kinda crazy lol ) he regrets it as he was caught up in the moment however he has never touched my mom or me or my brother in anger and is a very kind man in general so I guess you can have moments where you snap but with him slapping her just cause she said some stuff about him he didn't like?...I don't know I think you should probably back out of this relationship *carefully* and move on. don't make a big drama out of it just do it because he just told you how he was gonna be when he's angry...you got a warning which is a hell of a lot more than most women get...dont take it lightly.
The near sociopathic response to him hitting her should be your answer. I don't mean to sound rude, but the fact that he has no remorse and that he says "it just the way he is" shows that there's a pretty high chance that he'll hit you at some point, also (and you may not be so lucky). So, no, I don't think you should accept it, and you should get out of the relationship before it escalates to that point. And, if his behavior doesn't convince you to leave, take it from somebody who knows first hand, it will most likely get more dangerous over time. Of course, there's always the off chance it won't, and it was just a fluke, but that's an EXTREMELY low chance.
It would be a warning sign to me.
Any guy that thinks it's justifiable and okay to hit a woman, is a insecure punk in my eyes.
The same way he thought it was okay to put his hands on her,
will be the same reason why he thinks its fine to do so to you.
That's definitely a red flag. He clearly has nonproblems hitting a woman which means if he angry at you in the future then he could hurt you as well. Obviously he can't control his anger and that's a problem.
While I personally believe everyone deserves a good slap from time to time, I know it isn't a popular belief, calling someone childish is not even close to a good reason to slap someone. Chances are he will strike you eventually for no good reason. All couples fight, and calling someone childish isn't that big of a deal.
If he at least felt bad about it, that would be something, but he doesn't. That is what concerns me. Now if she had tried to hurt him by mocking the fact that his mother was dying or something, that would be incredibly cruel and I think deserving of a good slap.
Where you around to see it happen or did he/she tell you it happened.
Where you two dating when it happened or was this before you two started dating.

Personally, I would leave him. That's very dangerous and even though I personally haven't it seems so many woman get trapped in abusive relationships.
He sounds somewhat violent and doesn't seem to understand or care about the consequences of his actions. Proceed at your own risk.
Typical behavior of a egotistical, woman beater. Get out now, in one piece.
He certainly will. You know this.
DO NOT COMMIT
