I guess I'm abusive as well. Should we just break up?
I hit my boyfriend and he hit me back?

Just talk about it between the two of you. Neither one of you should be hitting the other. I've always believed that if a girl hits a guy first, she should be prepared to get hit back. Girls shouldn't get a free pass on violence just because she's female. I would never hit a guy, but I wouldn't be stunned if he hit me back.
I'd say a break up might be your best bet, but before you decide that, maybe you can talk with each other about what went wrong. Why did you feel the need to hit him in the first place? It's not good if you have to resort to violence. No one on this site knows about your relationship though. If this was a first time thing for both of you, you might not want to throw away your relationship too quickly.
You all should never speak again. You should not report it cause you assaulted him first. There is never an excuse for abuse or infidelity of any kind regardless of gender. You lost control and started something that he finished.
Leave this toxic relationship for both your sakes. Once someone hits you like this, trust it won't stop. It has been unleashed. He has it in him to do it again. This is what you will be signing up for. Cross him and he'll shut you down.
Wishing you the best of luck.
Listen, I hate to say this but do not take advantage of the idea that because you're a girl that you won't get back. Times are changing and that shit can get you seriously hurt and killed.
You two shouldn't be together if you are resorting to violence.
i would never hit a woman but you know what, you deserved it.
you hit him expecting him not to hit you back. we live in an equal society (at least we are striving towards one) so he had every right to retaliate and the fact you werent expecting it, shows just how self entitled (some) women are.
You raise your hand to anyone, they have the right to self defence, male or female.
violence towards women is completely frowned upon, yet violence towards men doesn't seem to matter, and most men dont speak up about it because they are seen as weak.
having said that, you should both be ashamed of yourselves. violence is never the answer regardless of what gender it is aimed at.
@Red7336 so what you're saying is that women aren't equal because men are bigger and stronger?
"only THIS is not equal
proof?
she has a bruise... he doesn't
he is obviously bigger and stronger and her hit did not do much damage"
it doesn't matter how strong someone is, if you physically attack another person, they have every right to self defence.
i wouldn't hit an MMA fighter or boxer because I know I would get my ass kicked. The only reason she hit him is because she is a privileged and self entitled girl who thought her gender would protect her.
again, violence is never the answer, but you want equality? here it is.
no... just no.
self defense? LOOOL!!
if your 12 year old niece attacked you... not just a hit... no an attack would you hit back because you're too scared of her and wanting to defend yourself?
she wasn't hitting him with a hammer you know
why are so many men today so scared and defensive of everything?
and you know this because you're her mother or something?
again, that's not equality
@Red7336
"she wasn't hitting him with a hammer you know" so that makes it ok does it? its perfectly fine for a women to not only assault a man, but that man also doesn't have the right to self defence?
you are the embodiment of what is wrong with a lot of women today. self entitled little princess who claim to want to be treated the same as men, but with added extras.
she hit him, she deserved to get punched back.
"Just break up"is the most stupid answer people always put here. No you shouldn't break up with him, communication is always important talk about the issue and apologize to each other. If that leads to another repeat of one of you hitting each other than that's how you know it can't work out

You hit him. Hit someone, regardless of your gender, and you're going to be hit back. That the world.
Having said that you're age makes this a lot more complex.
You're 18. I'd strongly suggest talking to a real adult and explain the situation. A parent, a teacher. Anyway you trust.
Although he could have handled himself better, he had every right to defend himself.
You hit him!
You should be mad at yourself.
It's never okay to put your hands on anyone.
Don't think you have the right because you have the "female card".
It's a bad pattern that usually doesn't end well. He shouldn't have hit you. And no, you shouldn't have slapped him. But he shouldn't have hit you. A girl slapping a guy just isn't as serious as a guy hitting a girl. (Not that I'm excusing you slapping him, 'cause I'm not.)
Equality. Want to swing on a man, prepared to get hit like a man.
Sounds to me like a lesson you should have learned a long time ago. Its amazing to me that grown women never learn that there are consequences for putting their hands on people.. guys learn this before they even get to middle school. Do you want to leave because you can no longer hit him without consequence? Do you prefer a guy that just Shuts up and takes it? I'm not even sure how one could post something like that and not see the insanity and hypocrisy in what they're saying. If you'd slapped him and he didn't do anything, you wouldn't have lost a moments sleep, but now you're ready to leave him lol.. some women are hilarious.
Both of you should apologize to each other and i think you should end the relationship. i don't know what he did before you hit him but anyone that makes you mad to the point you're physical with them shouldn't be in your life. You were wrong he was wrong just end it
I wouldn't hit a women I love, and woudnt want to hit women in general. Unless you lift weights and your hand is really strong, I would dump him.
If it was me I would have just walked away. A girl can hurt your pride, but physically nah I dont think so
Yea... try telling that to the guy that lost an eye when his girlfriend hit him with her stiletto or the one that got glassed in the face. Someone smaller than you can still poke your eyes out...
@mghowmasculinist Like I said, unless she lifts weights, her hand is really strong for a girl or a girl does use a weapon to hit then its unlikely a girl could really hurt a guy badly. In that case self defense is ok.
well yes there is no good reason to hit a girl except if she's trying to kill you (such as trying to stab you in the heart with a knife) but the problem is there are many bitter guys not raised like us and they just don't care. That is where the girl is putting herself in danger by slapping because she won't know who she's dealing with till it's too late.
@MarkT93
hey im not saying women should hit in the first place... but still sometimes its just emotions not that she is trying to cause any physical damage at all or trying to harm you
its like tears that just come out of nowhere... not retaliation, and most girls regret it almost immediately
and well there ARE women who got shot for saying no to a guy lol doesn't mean we should run away at the sight or anything male lol
i wouldn't call those "men" anyways
@mghowmasculinist Why are you so old?
We are all supposed to live to the age of 300 but due to our lifestyle of cheap processed foods, micro-nutrient deficiencys, polluted environment and lack of collagen amino acids, most of us perish before the age of 100.
I have discovered the secret to longevity, this is why I am so old.
@mghowmasculinist I meant your joke.
they are both wrong
you idiot
Wait, your privilege didn't protect you? Hmm :/
Break up, he shouldn't be with an entitled and abusive girlfriend
Even if you did hit him first, he shoulda took it without hitting you back.
Unless his life was in danger, He is a bitch for hitting a woman. And anybody who disagrees is probably a bitch made punk themselves.
But you were wrong to hit him in the first place, Neither one of you sound capable of being in a stable and functional relationship.
she is also a bitch
Serves you right.. Don't hit people and you won't get hit back. Thank me later.. I'm a fucking genius.
Just apologize for whatever it is you did. Even if you weren't wrong, the first step to making up, is apologizing. They also say that love is only certain once the first argument has been had.
Talk to him and say your sorry
If he says he's sorry too then you can get over it together
If he doesn't then maybe you should go your separate ways
All you can do I do what you think is right and say sorry
Suck it up, snowflake.
Hun, if you don't want him hitting you, don't hit him. I don't care how badly it hurt, you punched him in the face for no good reason.
Well duh, for every action there is a reaction. Don't raise your hands on people's kid. You and him should have a discussion about the situation
Yea, if you're gonna do that in the first place you should just leave him and take some time to yourself.
Breaking up seems like a good thing to do. You both aren't any good for one another if you're violent with each other.
Personal I wouldn't hit you back, but if you think you can hit a guy and get away with it, you will regret it.
If I really felt like you were trying to hurt me, you would not be worrying about bruises.
Depends how often it happens. You can't expect him not to react to you hitting him.
Either break up or apologise and talk through it to see if continuing your relationship is possible.
Iff you are unhappy with the relationship then break up. But yes, personally i believe that if you hit him, it is ok for him to hit back because that is just gender equality and equivalent exchange
