serious question

If you slap a man for specific reasons not just out of the blue does it justify him slamming you by your throat into a wall while screaming at you and then shove you to the floor(while pregnant)

Of course this is easier said than done, but you probably need to leave him. From what you described, this doesn't sound like an isolated one-time event in your relationship. Domestic violence is a serious issue and some people end up badly beaten or dead. But to answer your question; no, none of your actions should have occurred. Regardless of gender, abuse is wrong and hitting a man is a bad move since they are usually more powerful than us. Girl my heart feels for you. PLEASE keep your hands to yourself (hopefully he will too) especially since you know what he's capable of. Get the h e l l out of there if you can.

I mean you slapped him so he reacted no I dont think he should have choked you but you did hit him first you had something coming... but he definitely should not have choked you up against the wall!

I don't think either is justified and you were both in the wrong, although he definitely took it step farther. Sounds like the two of you need a break for awhile to really reevaluate the relationship bc stuff like that shouldn't ever be happening, especially when there is child involved whether it be in utero or not, and when baby is born if you guys are having fights like that then your baby can be taken away from you. You shouldn't be with someone that brings you to the point of violence and vice versa.

Kech1 I tried to explain in my comment above yours. Likei said I don't think what I did was good at all but what I was asking is does what I did to him justify what he did to me?

Sounds like abuse to me. I would think a slap for a slap is enough (and still not right) but it sounds like you need to report it. If you don't want to do it for you do it for the baby. You do NOT want your baby to have to see that or even be abused.

Please get help.
Good luck

That is my opinion obviously.. I dont agree she should have slapped him, but if would have hurt her more seriously or even the baby. I bet he would have regretted doing what he did. She might have even regretted her actions as well. I hate when people add to someone else's comment state your opinion and leave mine alone.

I think you should be arrested for slapping him. If it's the man that slapped, the world would be against him. What makes it ok for you to slap him. It is not ok for a woman pregnant or not to slap a man the same goes for the man. It is an abuse and I think we should stop making excuses because we are women. Stop the violence.  It is bad either way.

I don't think its ok to just slap someone in that moment it was my belief that it would help me get me out of the apartment. Obviously it didn't but I just wanted to no if y'all thought me slapping him for whatever reason justified his actions...I never said mine where all that great either

I slapped him because he was screaming in my face and I was crying trying to just leave and he wouldn't let me get pafault.m he kept blocking me we were in a hallway so I slapped him hoping it would startle him enough so I could get to the door. I wouldn't slap him For no reason. Anyways details don't really matter he just tries to justify it with you slapped me first so its your fault.

Sounds like he had "specific reasons" too. Your violence does not make his violence okay but neither was justified. Attacking or assaulting another human being is not justifiable. I don't give a damn what he did first. Keep your hands to yourself.
And to the first commenter, nobody "should be able to handle" getting hit. There is no excuse for that. It is not acceptable to attack someone, and it is certainly not reasonable to attack someone and not expect retaliation.

It don't matter if it was a slap or kick in the *** if he was man enough he should of walked away...... Doesn't give u the right to slap around ppl either bc a cop will take in a woman or a man who commits domestic violence so what does that tell you? Regardless a man knows he can over power a woman which was pretty low of him to do that..... If he would of done that to me if I slap him or not I guarantee you he'd be 6 feet underground.

Don't put yourself in a situation that you can't handle!!! You want to hit like your a man get hit back like a man. I don't condone violence at all. I am a survivor of domestic abuse. Keep your hands to yourself. If you can't do that prepare yourself to get hit back. Pregnant or not you can not slap people then when they retaliate cry
