Would you ever hit a woman if she hit you first?

In fact my question is of a psychological nature. Lately I had many fights with my ex. My ex-husband! We divorced three months ago so our wounds are fresh, because I guess we are still in love with eachother. Ironically, I know..
Anyway recently we got in a big fight because of something I did. We both were very angry and frustrated. He raised his voice and I slapped him once. He raised his hand to slap me back but instead he pushed me and tried to walk away. I put myself in front of him and tried to slap him again. Next I was watching him unbuckling his belt followed by a loud snap as he pulled it off. That noise made me froze. I couldn't talk, I couldn't move. I was just shocked. He put me over his knee and he started to hit me really hard with that thing. Never laid a hand on me before, so I was trying to talk him out of doing that to me. It hurt and I cried. Hell, I begged him to stop it and well that was not a succesful request. Eventually he stopped and I realised I was so turned on. When I turned around to face him I saw tears in his eyes. Immediately I kissed him and that was the beginning of the best sex we had in years.
I feel miserable and I feel like my mind is so sick for doing that. Am I bipolar? Do I need therapy..
