Why does my boyfriend want me to hit him?

[Anonymous]

I lashed out at him because I was upset and he got up in my face, telling me to “hit him”. Why?

I don’t want to hit him, I just wanted to get my point across and I was upset. Why do guys do this?

I don't do that... I find it a little strange to invite violence in that way...

Masochist?

That or he wants to see if you'll do it, just to see if you will

[spiderg1rl]

this happened to me too o. o back in the day, still not sure why..

Maybe he needs a reason to knock you out.
