Was I being stupid?

[Fzrz6455]

During an argument living with my male roommate he slapped me acroos the face... i cried and i was pissed i called the police on him... he got charged they arrested him... was i wrong?

No, you weren't. He assaulted you. That's never acceptable. Who knows what would happen the next time he becomes angry. Now you need to either move out or move him out, depending on who's name is on the lease. You can't continue living together. If you are both on the lease then you need to have him removed so that you have sole possession. In that case, consider seeing a lawyer.

But it was just a slap...

I wasntbleeding..

[slatyb]

The next time it could be a punch.

I mean... throwing a domestic abuse charge on his record might have been a bit of an overreaction, but I don't know everything that led up to the slap. It's possible that you acted appropriately.

You were not wrong, doesn't matter what you were arguing over, he shouldn't have resorted to violence

[Fireguy17]

No, not at all.
You never take or put up with abuse from anyone ever.
Time to move on.
It rarely changes or gets better, usually only worse.
