How you will react? Slap him/her back?

If my husband slapped me during a silly argument, he knows that he is going to get PUNCHED back, not slapped. Let me explain. I was abused as a child and was slapped in the face frequently by my father. My husband knows about my past and how long it has taken for me to get over it. He also knows how angry I get when people yell at me or try to hit me. Thus, he would be peeing in his chili, so to speak, if he were to do that. He knows that I might not think clearly and might react without thinking. I have to say though that in 8 years of being together, my husband has never yelled at me or hit me and I couldn't be more thankful for that.

My first question here would not be whether I would slap him/her but why I got slapped in the first place. I think it's a stupid thing to slap anybody unless there's a reason like a the need to get their attention due to hysteria. Anyway beyond that. At that point I would walk away because slapping back someone may just cause more fighting.

If someone would slap me I would slap right back, than walk away and never see that person again.

Well..I'm an instinctive person adn if I get slap, that person better be ready to see my palm print on their face for a while, because at the same instant I get slap especially if the argument is intense, I will slap back and hard too. It is for that reason i try not to argue, and count to 10 lol, anyoen who knows me will tell you that when I start to count never let em reach 10 because I wont be responsible for what happens after - my Dad calls me bull. Guess it is the Aries temper in me

I hope you are asking a general question and not speaking from a personal experience! It's never okay to hit anyone, not a dog, a child or a person. Slapping is mean. It's an immature way to express feelings and the slapper needs to find some communication skills, fast! And no, if someone slapped me I wouldn't slap back. I would walk away and never come back.

Oh,I don't know.I think I will let her do the things she want.

Hi there yogeshdhusa, if that happen to me, I will walk out and stay along in the room. I will wait that my anger will subside and when he is ready and I am ready, we will talk about it and let him understand that I am hurt and slapping is never a solution over things when we are fighting and we just need to be open-minded in discussing things!

Wow! If a guy I was seeing ever slapped me I would probably be extremely hurt (emotionally). I mean, when someone you trust slaps you, it is a pretty big disappointment. And I think that would change them in my eyes forever, even if they never hit me again. But of course I've never been in this situation.

I would not have to handle this situation because I would be careful to choose a mature and intelligent mate who would never dream of doing such a thing. However, if I were young and foolish and made such a mistake and someone slapped me, I would not hit back, but neither would they ever darken my door again. It would be the end of the relationship. Goodbye. Do not write. Do not call. I would not know that person any more.

Well, if for me its a really silly topic then he slapped me...then I'm definitely gonna feel about that, cause I think he would be over reacting. Cause if your in a fight, things shouldn't be out of hand by doing physical things.

If I were slapped during an argument I would feel compelled to slap back. But instead, I would probably cry--in shock, in disappointment, in anger, in hopes that crying would make him feel the scum of the earth and regret his actions with all his might, making him feel the need to run to the nearest church and confess his sins to a priest. Then I would probably leave for a little bit. We both need to cool off and back off and stay away from each other for a little bit. Then, after a few days, get together and talk--but not until he is down on his knees with a new diamond ring as an "I'm so sorry. I'm the world's biggest idiot. You are right and I am always wrong" gift. There is no excuse for any kind of physical contact in an argument other than hugging or shaking hands or something peaceful like that. It is disgusting. Violence is no good and it will only lead to no good.

I would never hit my wife. I wouldn't hit her even if she was beating the daylights out of me. men sometimes deserved to be slapped but I was raised never to hit anyone, let alone a woman or my wife.
