What should you do if your girlfriend loses control and slaps you, what's the proper way of handling that situation?
Anonymous

Godddd someone tell me how to get rid of the ai answers because they are pissing me off intensely WHY do they take up half the screen with their nothing answers?
Rant aside, I had an experience like that with an ex. Not a slap, but I punched him in the shoulder while we were arguing. I grew up playing punching games with my dad and brother, so much so that it's become a reflex of mine - I flinch easily and punch instinctively at any sign of danger. Great for street fighting, bad for a relationship. After doing that, I gave him a bewildered stare and went silent. The argument went on pause until he told me "don't make a habit of that". And I made sure never to do it again.
You have to navigate this situation very very carefully. Saying "the next time you hit me, I won't hold back" is a genuinely terrifying threat for a woman, and it might make her fear you. I mean, just getting tickled by or playfighting my partner is a daunting reminder of how If he wanted to, he could fuckin crush me. It's not a good plan to slap her back for the same reason. Just a warning to her that this is abuse will make her stop. And if it doesn't stop, a break-up is in order.

Grab her hard and tell her don't fucking touch you again. I doubt she will have the balls to do it again but if she does, I would suggest breaking up because she is violent and has anger problems.

You need to tell her you will never be with someone who would ever touch you like that and it is 100% unacceptable to EVER hit you.
Immediately get up and leave or immediately kick her out. If you are in public, immediately get in your car and leave. Leave her wherever she is.
It is up to you if you ever get back with her but I'd take at LEAST 2-3 weeks 100% away from her and no contact.
I'd end it. If she comes back super remorseful and apologizes and swears to never do it again... it is up to you whether you cave or not but don't EVER reach out to her again. Any contact with her should be from her seeking you out. If she isn't 100% remorseful then hang up immediately. If she blame shifts at all, makes any excuse, down plays it any immediately hang out and go back to no contact.
TELL EVERYONE. Tell friends and family you and her are BROKEN UP or at least SEPARATED while you decide what to do because she HIT YOU and that that is a deal breaker for you.

That's happened to me before where she slapped me as hard as she could. I wasn't prepared for it. I didn't hit her back although I did lose my temper and put my fist through a wall!

Navigating those turbulent waters of love can sure bring us some unexpected storms, huh? If your girlfriend loses control and slaps you, it's like hitting a pause button on your favorite song. The first step is to ensure everybody's safety, including yours. Take a deep breath and create some physical space between you two to cool down those heated emotions. Communication is your best tool here - talk about the incident when you both have calmed down, express how the action made you feel and discuss boundaries. Remember, respect and safety are the bedrock of any relationship. If this becomes a pattern, it might be time to seek outside help or reconsider the relationship's future. Handling this with care, empathy, and clear boundaries can turn a rough patch into a strengthening moment for the relationship. Love isn't about weathering the storm but learning to dance in the rain, right?

You should end the relationship, it's not acceptable

Grab her hands so she can't hit you again. Look sternly at her. Then walk away.

Call it in. You don't have to press charges, but there should be zero tolerance here. I do not care if this happens with a guy or a girl, if they lose control and hit someone, call it in and get out. If the situation were reversed, I would say the same thing. I know a guy this happened to. The woman taunted him and said if he called it in, no one would believe him. He did it anyway, and she was arrested.
Here's the reason why: Let's say you decide to get married and have kids. A person whose emotional regulation is so low that they resort to hitting when they get mad is not someone you want around a colicky infant or a toddler. I know people will disagree with me and that's fine, but everyone needs to understand that physical actions carry the possibility of consequences.
That being said, the physical damage that a woman can do to a man is far less than he can do to her. That's part of the reason the double standard exists. But translate the action from being directed at you to a child and suddenly it's a different story.
If you decide not to call it in, you have the option to give her a warning and tell her that if she ever does it again, you're done. You can also call the National Domestic Violence Hotline for help finding support groups, counseling, and other resources in your area: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).
Here's some great articles on the double standard:

You walk away. Then when she cooled down TELL her now you are going to talk about what she is upset about, then immediately follow up with, what she just did, was unacceptable and will never happen again. You need to stand firm and lay some ground rules. BUt that is something that triggered her to behave that way. Surely you or something might have been responsible for that. Try to understand that as well. If that behavior is repeating, you need to make her aware of it and you won't tolerate that, and if it continues, you leave her. You are a man, and a man never raises his hand for a woman. If you raise your hand for a woman, I dont know what you are but then you clearly are not a man.

Normally I would say press charges but given how libtards have destroyed the justice system you would likely be the one in jail. So if she slaps you end the relationship and when she starts crying and begging you to stay tell her she should have thought about that before assaulting you
-
Tell her we are done because she physically assaulted me when she claimed she never would and not listen to her apologies nor her cries for forgiveness and either leave or make her leave with force if necessary. This is what all men should do but not all men.
390 opinions shared on Relationships topic. Do nothing - Walk away, you do not have to stay with anyone who is abusive, If this happens regularly end this relationship it will only get worse. Also if you walk away saying nothing it is one of the strongest thing you can do as you refuse to engage in her drama, IF you refuse to accept any excuses from her for her action.
-
Overhand right.
Jk. It really depends on the setting but either walking away or grabbing her hands so she can't continue. I probably wouldn't end the relationship because of that happening once but the next day when cooler heads prevail we'd need to discuss it
-
I don't know how I would handle that I know definitely not fighting back cuz that's a terrible idea but I would probably just stand there because I wouldn't know what to do
5.2K opinions shared on Relationships topic. I would restrain her until she calmed down. Hopefully the feeling of helplessness as she tries to get loose will make her realize that if I were to hit her back she would get hurt really bad will make her think twice before doing it again.

Assuming you didn't deserve it, then put a strong boundary right there for her to not do it again or you'll walk. If she doesn't take it seriously after you say that, then end the relationship.

Call the police press charges for assault. Shouldn't be double standard should it what's good for the goose is good for the gander

Most people call the police. Someone with that sort of anger needs a serious wake-up call and therapy.
- Anonymous(18-24)
The proper way is to take it like a man, if your girlfriend or wife slaps you, you just have to take it either you deserved it or not, women can slap men if they want to, and plus there's more important things to deal with than getting slapped.
