What if the man slaps you?

I haven't experienced this yet but if a man slaps me on the face then I would have second thoughts of pursuing the relationship I have with him. A man is supposed to be a woman's saver and not someone who injures. There are men who when angered abuse their partners physically, this happens in many cases. Other women always forgive men who hurt them and abuse them physically, but if it is too much then why not leave the man?

It's horrible even if i'm just imagining it to happen. But if that will ever happen to me then the best thing to do is cut the relationship right there and then. It isn't right for a man to hit his love one. On the other hand, we should also assess ourself. Maybe we have done something which triggered him to do that.

a big big NO! once a man hurt a woman. the woman should get out of the relationship at the moment she was slapped. your right the man should be the woman's protector. at any means if the woman have initiated the fight the man should never ever hurt the woman. the man should control his temper and talk to the woman peacefully.

if i were in that situation,i won't have second thoughts about pursuing the relationship.instead,i will end the relationship right away.even if it's done out of impulsiveness,i still don't think a man has the right to hurt a woman,all the more if it's his partner.

Thank god it never happened to me too and I hope never ever. But if a man who slaps a woman than he's not a man but a monster in disguise. He will normally slap and attacked the weaker ones. Some women tolerate the abuse for many reasons. Maybe they loved the man too much or because of family. Am sure if they have a choice, they will not want all these abuse

When a man is out of control,he may do sth on impulse.But it's really bad to slap someone's face especially to a woman.It shows the man have a so poor behaviour. Don't believe him anymore if it happens the second time. Just as you said,a real man is supposed to protect women but not hut.

The problem with most people today. Men and women. Is that they have no fear of being hurt by anyone. This has created generation upon generation of mouthy people. If someone slaps you in the face. Ask yourself. Did I deserve that? You probably did. I mean come on ... How much mental abuse does someone have to take ... ... before you deserve a good fresh one? If people with low vocabularies used your zero tolerance attitude ... We would have one of two situations on our hands. A) A lot of lonely know it alls. or ... B) A society populated solely by people with physical ability Think about it.

my hubby hits me before but he never slaps me... if he does, i will be very mad at him and definitely consider to leave him... he has anger management problem... but he is getting better now and trying to improve himself... and he had promised me not to hurt me physically anymore... take care and have a nice day...

I am glad that this hasn't happened to me, and I hope it never does. But if it did, I'd walk away. Because if someone slapped me, I'd know that the relationship wasn't worth it and that there was something completely wrong with this person.

whoa! i'll kick his balls and *ss for that matter! well, i guess no man can do that to me. women always fail to stress one point in a relationship: INDEPENDENCE. men, tend to think that women can't live without them--hence, some of them become violent, agile, and aggressive. if you will not let your man become violent, you'll never face this problem.

Once a man raise his hand on a woman, he is likely to raise it again. He will not stop at that. It is better to break the relationship if you are not married to him. If you are married to him, then you have to take him to a counsellor and he needs to get psychological advice. It is demeaning to a woman and it shatters her confidence and self respect. I have come across men who have been beating their wives. It doesn't stop as a one time abberation. In 28 years of married life i have ot so much as raised my voice at my wife leave alone raising my hand.

i think that it is the same both ways i am a firm beliver that if we women want to be treated as equils then we must behave as equils no man should ever raise his hand to a woman but neither should a woman raise her hand to a man if a couple love each other they will not want to hurt one another and if they do it is not real love at all.

One is enough, two is too much... I won't tolerate anyone to treat me like that. If you think your boyfriend has this tendency to hurt you, then you should call it quits.

I saw it from Oprah before ( I think that was where I saw it ) that when a man hits or hurts you, physically lay a hand on you, you have to get out of that relationship as soon as possible because it will lead to more physical fights. Once it happened, it will happen again. You have to get out of an abusive relationship regardless if the one inflicting the pain is the guy or the girl!

Right...I'd not even want to think about giving him a second chance. I believe that if there is a first time, there will always be a second, third....time. It's not so much that men are supposed to be women's saver. No one has a right to physically assault another person!

no body ever slap me and no body will, i will not let my hubby or anyone to do that to me it is not a good practice . Respect should always be there and if you let someone do that to you it will definitely be lost.

If a man ever slapped me I would have him brought up on charges of domestic violence, have him thrown in jail and throw away the key, in that any man who hits a woman is nothing but a coward and a low life.

If in a relationship and a man slaps then ofcourse one can easily leave. But if your spouse slaps you then things become a little complicated. There are so many women who do take in physical abuse from their partner. Reasons umpteem of them. Some even slap back. Woman after marriage going through a physical abuse and is not financially independent with kids becomes a complicated matter. The kids are involved, how would she afford them.This happens in so many cases. Woman is more emotional than the man.So she keeps everything in mind before taking the step of leaving her partner. Physical abuse to anyone is bad. People abusing and actually going through,both are fault. But it is easier to call of the relation in such cases before marriage then after marriage. The stakes go high after marriage. Women sometimes dont forgive the man but they have no other option but to contibue with such a person as they have no other support which would be more to do with finances. Every woman has a desire to leave when going through such abuse but only few can leave, maybe those who are financially independent. There is nothing in todays world as man being a womans saviour. Women have progressed and many of us have learnt the art of taking care of ourselves.

If there is a man who slaps me, I will be very angry on him. I will ask why he did that to me and make him apologize to me. Then we will still be freinds but not as good as before.
