Have you ever been hit (or slapped hard) by a member of the opposite sex? What did you do? Did you press any legal charges against that person? That's enough specifics. It's not an easy topic.

A woman I almost married had MUCH too much to drink one night and got angry with me about something stupid. I tried to ignore her, and she got so angry she hit me in the face with her fist. It really had me seeing stars for a while. She stormed off to the bedroom and slammed the door. I put ice on my face. The next day I told her we "were over" (things had not gone well for some time). She apologized, but it would have ended soon anyhow. That just cinched it for me. I had a bruise for about 10 days!

Yes. A woman I lived with years ago actually had a PTSD "flashback" episode, and thought I was the guy who had raped her when she was 18. She beat the crap out of me because I was half asleep, and before I could defend myself she got in 4-5 good hits and kicks. She was screaming loudly also, and the apartment neighbors called the cops. When they came I said she was on medication and I did not want to press charges. She took 2 of her pills and chilled out. I decided I couldn't live with that any more and after about 2-3 weeks of worrying if she would do that again, we broke up. A sad deal. She was, apart from that, a very nice and kind woman. I just couldn't handle it at that age I guess.

I have been kicked in the face and knocked unconcious in a completely unprovoked attack by a member of the opposite sex who was also a complete stranger. I didn't even see it coming. I did not press charges, because when I regained conciousness - he had run off, and I didn't even see his face.

My dad used to hit me, and I ran for it when I could.

Only once, in a drama class as part of a skit and the director kept yelling, "hit him harder." Stanislovsky's fault. Finaly she knocked me off the park bench and I landed on the floor in a daze - not her fault. However, if someone is hitting you, I take a dim view of it. What right do they have? The sooner that person learns that it is an unacceptable crime, the better. The police are good for that. If it is domestic violence, if the laws are like California, you will not need to press charges. That will be up to the D.A.. If the person is open to learning, the 52 week batterers class may do him/her some good and teach him/her some positive anger management skills. If some time has passed and the marks are gone, there is probably not much you can do or need to do. Just don't let it happen again. Dial 911.

My ex wife when I presented her with some divorce things to sign. I didn't do anything and her very hot and somewhat violent temper was just one of the many reasons for the divorce.

A couple of months ago My boyfriend was very,very drunk and i told him to go sleep somewhere else as i didn't want him in my house like that with my daughter there so he kinda punched me to get me out of the way of the doorway. It was totaly out of his character and he's never done it before or since.
