I took my kids out some times back and i saw two couples fighting each other the wife slapped the man, simply because the man "embarras" her in front of an old male friend she was greeting. If you wife or spouse slap you what would be your reaction too?

This has happened to me. I just walked away. It is very very humiliating and hurtful. oh did i mention angry?..I was angry too. It is not a way to act in public or even in private. There is no good excuse for slapping anyone ever!!

oh yes...there would be talk when we got home. He was always sorry ....afterwards. It happened far more than once as is usually the case with anyone that would easily hit another in public...you can almost bet it is worse in private. we are no longer together.

So it happened more that once, then he must have been enjoying it! good you are nolonger together but did you not notice the violence in him before you got involved with each other.

I am not married but if i was or my significant other was to slap me in public.I would be really shocked.First im sorry i would have to cuss him out.I would be very upset and probably leave him standing right there.When i talked to him later would not have anything to say to him at all.Nobody has the right to put their hands on me.

Yah nice one to just walk away but while you are just walking away leaving him to stand there he pullss you back and growls "don't you dare walk out on me"... maybe another one is coming or wants to apologise there...

I don't condone the action of the wife but i can't blame her either. The husband had it coming. If me and my wife are in the same situation and she hit me because i embarass her i would probably apologize to her for the embarassment I cause her. But I will definitely have a talk with her at home about the slapping part. My wife has slapped me only once in private and in all honesty i would say its my fault.

I would never slap my partner in public or at home, I hate violence and I would never put up with something like this! My partner and I talk about things and this is how we solve our problems and if things get really bad then we will walk away, slapping him would never even enter into my mind!

It would never happen in our relationship so I am not even going to contemplate it!

if that can happen, then the person needs a marriage counselor or a divorce. just wondering. you said "two couples fighting", so you mean they were 4 people fighting? who is slapping who? is it like a wrestling tag team championship?

If my spouse ever hit me. I would call the cops. Public or in private...doesn't make a difference.

Yeah call the cops and make him/her sleep in detention for a day or two?

In public or in private if he slapped me, the relationship would be over. If in public, I'd make a scene and make sure someone witnesses the attack (that's what it is, an attack!) and that they'd call the police to get the abuse reported.

Nice one what if the police now refer to it as a simple case personal family matters that should be settled at home?! and the attack a mere two fighting case and both of you got charged for public disturbance?

Compliments.I wish to have a wife that will be matured enough to know that abusing ones husband is not the panacea to having or bringing marital crisis under control rather it is always tantamount to making the situation to be warm for both parties.If i was slapped in a public place by my spouse,i will ensure that i remain totally stoic and try as much as possible to recall the groanings she went through during her period of labour at the maternity home or recall the caring words she has rendered to me during my previous predicaments.Against this backdrop,i will overlook her action in that moment of momentary madness.For me,it is a storm in a tea cup.

The Pastor! Astorm in the tea cup should be stired properly with a tea spoon and drank one time BUT it may cause stomach problem if not checked properly. Thanks

i have experienced being embarassed by my ex boyfriend in public but not to the point of slapping me he just nagged and trash talked in public. to answer your question, i would be really mad at him. i'll ask him why did he slap me and even in public! i will not talk to him because i'll be thinking things out about our relationship, i mean man hitting a girl? i wouldn't let it happen to me again.

Whether he slaps me in a public or a private place, he will surely regret that one mistake. I think my first reaction would be to slap him back. My sister once slapped me years ago when we had a fight. I tried to slap her back but a relative intervened. And after slapping him, I would walk away from him for good. My parents have never slapped me and no husband of mine is going to do that first time. But I know my husband will never hurt me physically. We have been through so many arguments and he always chose to walk away and calm himself down.

I wouldn't marry someone who would slap me unless I absolutely deserved it. Chances are I wouldn't be doing something so bad it deserved a slap, so if they slapped me I'd be very confused and sad, whether it was in public or not.

Nice, but sometimes it might be filled up that spontaneously a slap just landed, you said you will be confused, yes, possible suprised to and witout thinking you might reply the slap or you could faint due to the shock. Will you just let it go? a reaction follows an action.
