Should slapping be an automatic dealbreaker in a relationship?

[Hannah_Ann_Linge]

In my opinion, yes, I do believe it should be a dealbreaker. In your opinion, should slapping be dealbreaker if the relationship has lasted a long time? What if it was “just” a slap on the cheek? It could be a girl slapping a guys’ face or a guy slapping a girls’ face? Your guy’s thoughts?

Depends on the situation, realistically speaking. Sometimes you need to snap someone out of it, other times people get angry and offended and thus react on impulse or reflex, some do it as a form of discipline (slap upside the head for breaking the rules for example), etc. However, there is a very fine line between discipline/reactions and abuse. Abuse would be a slap that is uncalled for or out of turn. I he back hands you because you asked a question, that's abuse, if he slaps you because you called his sister a whore (when she is in no way one), that's warranted. So it really depends on the context of the situation and the reason for the slap. It could also be a fetish or punishment depending on whether it's a BDSM type of thing or a disciplinary measure (like slapping a child's hand away from a hot burner). Also, I give it a pass if sexual (harassment) is going on.

It is a deal-breaker. Because if you do it once you going to do it twice. There's no reason for slapping anybody that's what words are for people that hit of the people frustrated because they don't have the words to say what they're trying to say so the take it out with the slap that's just wrong. If somebody gets that upset and pissed off I can't find the words to say take a step back and walk away.
unless we are talking about something hot sexy kinky and you have been a bad girl and need your ass slapped , that's what I'm going to tell you to lay down on my lap I'm going to run my hand up on your inner thighs and then I'm going to sting your ass and say you have been a bad girl having you LOL

Oh heck no! Outside of the bedroom and on the butt (If your into either of those) that is a defiant deal breaker. Speaking from my perspective; Aside from the aforementioned exceptions, you lay your hands on me and that is an automatic termination of the relationship.

The only other exception I would excuse is if their mental state was altered by medications, and even then she would have to come off them and find an alternative or help me do something about it.

Playful hitting is fine. But if i use force with the intent of hurting you, you're 100% allowed to not put up with it. Same goes the other way even, if you're gonna get physical in a fight i dont wanna be with you cause that shows a low level of maturity

[bamesjond0069]

Slapping is fine. Sometimes its needed. Ever see the old movies where a man slaps a woman for being an emotional wreck and knocking some sense into her? Or a woman slaps a man typically for being too forceful with her sexual innocence like touching her inappropriate or such? There is an appropriate way to hit someone else. Unfortunately in a zero tolerance society it isn't taught anymore and you have people making a lot of mistakes and turning it into abuse.

[red_knight]

Yes it should, its degrading , disrespectful, rude, arrogance, disgusting and a huge put off, no1 has that right men or women, cheaters deserve a lot more tho lol

There are some places I like to be slapped. I'm assuming you are not talking about that. I'm 61 and have never in my life raised a hand to any female. I was taught it is better to be dead than to hit a woman.

ANY Physical ABUSE, in any way, is the end. Sometimes Criminal prosecution!!
I will never hit a woman, or child, for any reason!! I was slapped, many times by my mother, so I will NEVER do that to anyone!!

[Alejandro3000]

Slapping on the face is abuse. Having to live with parents who thought this was acceptable was horrible. God will decide where they go after death. If I had a partner who slapped I'd end it and let others know.

I can only answer for myself. Mostly no, I can forgive that amount of violence, it won't leave me scars and I would allow my girlfriend to lose her temper in tough situations, it happens unfortunately.

Now if it becomes a regular thing then yes. I don't expect the same from her and would fully understand if she dumps me over one slap.

[exitseven]

I will say it again. A guy does not hit a woman. That includes slapping. It will not stop with a slap.

[boombastik]

Hell yes, if there isn't any ass slapping going on the 2 of you aren't bringing out the best in each other
