No that's not ok.
You should never resort to physical violence in an argument. If you aren't capable of controlling your emotions enough to resolve issues like an adult, you're not mature enough to be in a relationship.
He should break up with you and you should take the time and put in the effort to develop better coping skills and learn to regulate your own emotional responses.
Violence is never okay in a relationship, but the truth is you hitting him isn't as bad as him hitting you. The reason is, in general, men are physically bigger and stronger and can do more damage when they hit. You, on the other hand, probably didn't hurt anything more than his pride when you hit him. It's still not okay though and hopefully you don't make a habit of this.
I just read some of your comments. I'm truly sorry for your loss.
You are the first person to take this into account. Thanks for that.
Slapping was okay but insulting in front of everyone... I think he will never forgive or forget.
When manliness is challenged this way...it is the most embarrassing moment in a man's life where he is thrashed by his gf itself.
You called him useless... Now it's over.
Remember girls tongue is more stronger than hands.
I'm a girl and i personally think hitting/slapping anybody is wrong. Especially in front of his friends, if you did it at home where no one was watching thats less worse, but the fact that it was in front of his friends kind of humiliated him as well. I think it's quite out of order, but then again if he was pushing you or being violent THATS when it's okay to slap someone.
Any kind of verbal argument can escalate into physical
but on both sides of a relationship it's still wrong
and should never happen, No one should slap anyone
your better off walking away than letting things get
that physical
You should apologize , it's not right to hit anyone esp. if they were abused by their parents , trust me , my father was the same (when i was little and pure and sensitive) and if someone dares to put his hands on me (surtout in a violent way) it would be the end of our relationship (family , friends , bf...)
He is more forgiving. He also agrees and says that he is "kinda useless"
It's never ok to hit. No matter how frustrated you get. The best thing you could do, but hardest, is walk away from the situation and re approach your issue when you've cooled off.
that was not ok in the slightest, if he were to have done that to you, he would be branded a monster and a horrible person...you disrespected and humiliated him infront of people..you are/were in the wrong.
No, you shouldn't have done that. Hitting a guy isn't any more acceptable that hitting a girl. Unless it's in self-defense, and your situation wasn't that. If he wanted to, your boyfriend could file a battery complaint against you with the police.
but he's not a drama queen so he wouldn't.
If he hit you and you file a complaint, you're a victim. But if he files a complaint on you for hitting him, he's a "drama queen"? How is it any different! If he files a complaint on you, it legally makes you a criminal. Just saying.
It's pathetic that one hit can make you a criminal. It is honestly pathetic that society has come to that.
Ok...put the shoe on the other foot. What would YOU do? Same scenario: During the course of the same argument, in the same place, and for the same reason...He HIT YOU...Now finish the scene. What happens next?
Case closed
I didn't even read your explanation because it doesn't matter. The ANSWER IS NO!! NO VIOLENCE PLEASE
FYI you're friends probably think your psychotic.
I vote for sociopathic.
You don't want him to hit you, so you also shouldn't have done it with him.
you seem to know the answer yourself the best since you don't appriciate our opinions.
But slapping is never okay. Whenether you're a female or a male. Keep your hands next to your body and talk with your mouth.
Hopefully he breaks up with you. You realize assault and battery is in fact a crime? Basically, you can't attack people without just cause. That doesn't include "we were arguing."
Of course it's not okay.
You should never put your hands on someone with violent intentions. Especially, someone you supposedly love.
Women slapping men isn't cool. Most of the time people mind their business but there have been a few sweet moments I thought justice was served. Sadly it only seems to happen late night/early morning in my downtown area.
I've seen a few cases where:
-the girl who slapped gets her shoe's heel broken by some other chick
-her car gets scraped with a clenched fist/ring
-even slapped back
-the guy blocks and ends up hurting her forearm/wrist
No it's not okay. Are you stupid?
How would you feel if he hit you
Seriously, you were raised like that? Trashy! It's totally acceptable to do so, if your cool with him returning the favor with a punch to the face..
if slapping a guy is acceptable, then sending a girl to the kitchen is also.
No you shouldn't lay hands on anyone that way.. I prefer people who can solve problems with their words not with violence.
That really isn't right. It's still abuse, just because you're a girl doesn't make it ok to slap your boyfriend.
I wouldn't worry about what people online think, I'd be worried about what people you did this in front of think
