Questions: Relationships

If a guy slapped or hit his female partner, almost all of us would insist that such behavior is unacceptable and we would agree that it was grounds for an immediate break up or divorce. No argument, no doubt.

In my experience, if a girl loses her temper and wants to strike out physically, it is most often done by a slap rather than a closed fist. Functionally, a slap from a woman means the same disrespect as a punch from a guy but, obviously, a slap from a girl doesn't usually hurt in the same as a punch from a guy.

So. . . what if a girl slaps her male partner, is that behavior acceptable or is it unacceptable just like a punch from a guy? If a girl slaps her partner, is that grounds for an immediate break up or divorce?
