Is it okay to slap your boyfriend when mad or is that considered domestic violence?

[Anonymous]

This is okay

This is not okay and is considered domestic violence

[Anonymous]

Girl what? If the roles were reversed it's obviously not okay so what makes it okay for you to do it? You don't need a relationship you need to see a therapist and work on yourself. Why would you think this is okay 🤦

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

It is NOT okay. It’s domestic abuse 100%.
Learn how to communicate when you’re angry.

[OlderAndWiser]

It is okay to use physical aggression towards your partner only when necessary to protect your own safety or the safety of a bystander. Those are situations which rarely present themselves to most people and, when they do, slapping is extremely ineffective to deter physcal agression from your partner, so. . . never.

[Jamie05rhs]

If it's to protect yourself, then it isn't aggression.

[Guy13]

Can I pop you in the face when I become angry at you⁉️
Some people’s switch flips when you slap them or your spit from screaming is hitting his cheek. Talk about inviting trouble and ER visit 🙀.
Really, I want know please.-Why the question 🤔

[Genie23]

It's not. It's never okay to hit anyone regardless of their gender.

[TheorionMage]

As a former LEO, criminal 'assault' is NOT limited by the Assailant's gender!
I've NEVER physically struck a woman FIRST, but I have defended myself reflexively
using APPROPRIATE proportional force to dissuade her continued assault.
The 'test' of Law is... "Were YOUR actions those of a prudent & reasonable person?"

You as a private citizen, have the obligation to withdraw IF POSSIBLE to CEASE further conflict;
whereas a police officer does NOT have that option, in defense of the public's safety.
They undertook an Oath and obligation "to PROTECT & Serve" in return for the privilege to apply MEASURED use of SUPERIOR force for the public good.

It’s never ok to hit someone you love because you’re mad or anyone love or not of course I’m not guilty of domestic violence but as recent as just a few years ago I was quick to throw hands with another man for stupid reasons or serious reasons so I’m not the best one to ask except I won’t hit the woman I love and it would have to be a severe situation for me to hit any woman. It’s sad that we live in a world where violence is a necessity but it’s only a necessity in severe situations and even when my wife has hit me my words were enough to get my point across I hit too hard to hit my wife back but she shouldn’t of ever hit me to begin with so the answer is no it’s not ok

[Heartache0405]

It’s abuse. Unfortunately it’s acceptable abuse to be abusive to a man if you’re a woman. Even the ones who agree. They get mad, they hit and immediately regret it. But they still did it. Isn’t that still abuse? Or because it was spur of the moment it’s alright? And because she’s a woman she should be given clemency? Yeah, FUCK THAT. I’m not giving any woman the benefit of the doubt. They should all fuck off

[JoyGirl]

No, it is NOT ok.
That will trigger the guy, and he may also hit back. He will get in trouble, and not you. That will ruin his life.

You can only hit him if he is a violent partner. Even at that, it is better to find a way out of the situation without being violent.
If he has a gun, don’t hit or yell. Stay quiet and calm until you are able to run for help. 👌🏾

[CallmeTheKnight]

No. If you do, you deserved to be slapped back and we know how most women are when they receive what they dished out.
There is absolutely no reason to strike, slap, kick, throw objects, or yell at your partner just because you're mad. That just says you have a problem with handling your own emotions. Children act irrational when they're upset, adults shouldn't.

[lrina]

would it be considered violence if the genders were reversed? yes, it would. meaning that if a woman slaps a man, it's only fair if it'll be considered as violence.

[Vesuvius87]

No it's not okay. The only you can hit others is:
- Self-defense or defending others (ex: someone is beating your child)
- BDSM in the bedroom
- During sparring in martial arts

If it doesn't fit in those 3 categories, no.

[NopeWhatTime]

If you truly love and care about someone, you should have no reason to want to hit them, no matter how angry you are. This is domestic violence regardless of gender.

[IMuser]

Reverse the roles and then ask yourself this question

[Apulu_3]

It's extremely bad action and top to that slapping is even disrespectful. You can't use your partner as a stress reliever in abusive way.

[VanillaSalt]

Go right ahead… I WILL fuck your shit up. The police will be pulling me off you when they get there so fair warning… I hit back.

[Asker]

Stfu before I slap the shit out of you. Been in karate since age 12

[VanillaSalt]

And I got a good 50 lbs on you and no time for your bullshit.

[dustybiker]

It is never okay to be physically violent to anyone.
It surprises me how many people do not realize that spitting, tossing a drink and or squirting someone with a hose is also assault in the US.

[tom_the_dating_snob]

Squirting someone with the garden hose is assault?

[dustybiker]

@tom_the_dating_snob That is what the sheriff himself told me. Yes.

[llorando]

It's never OK to hit your boyfriend unless it's in self-defense. Should be considered domestic violence, but since it's a woman hitting a man and not a man hitting a woman it's not. Just one of the double standards that needs to go.

[Sophxoxo]

It’s never ok to physically attack your significant other, or anyone for that matter. And yes, it counts as domestic violence.

[TheUniqueOne96]

The poll results say it all.

I hope this is a troll question.

[Ninania]

Would it be okay for him to randomly slap you because he's mad?

[Asker]

No, he’s a guy…

[Ninania]

He's a person. So are you.

[Juxtapose]

THANK YOU!

[msc545]

It is absolutely not okay but don't worry if you do it you won't get in legal trouble for it because the police don't arrest women for violence and if they happen to do that the courts won't convict them for violence against men.
