What would you do if your spouse slapped you?

Question

Open handed, no injuries.

Answer 1

Nothing.  She does it all the time and I do nothing.  Just like I do if she kicks, bites and/or scratches me.  At least it gets things out of her system so she cuts out the bitching and whining for a while.  I'll block anything that looks like it's going to cause real harm (she's pretty athletic) but otherwise I keep my hands to my side.

Answer 2

Slap him back 10 times harder than he slapped me. Then, depending on how angry I am, probably continue to kick the **** out of him.

**But he would never slap me, because I am smart enough to marry a good man.**

Answer 3

SLit his throat.

Answer 4

Slap him back.

Answer 5

I'd probably smile and then throw her through a wall.

Answer 6

I would slap him back, get my things and leave. Later I would start the motions for a separation/divorce because if he hit me once he'll hit me again. And I won't stand for being abused by anyone (emotionally, physically, mentally). It would be his first and last time putting his hands on me.

Answer 7

I'd slap the **** out of him back.  Then I'd leave.

Answer 8

i would leave him right then if therell hit u once therell do it again and it will only get worser

Answer 9

1st-I'd probably get emotional because of the shock and the thoughts of "I can't believe he just did that"

2nd-I'd remain calm while walking to the closest phone to call the police

3rd-I'd remove all of his s--- from our dwelling and toss it on the street (or in the hallway if we live in an apartment building)

4th-When I see the police arrive, I would wait until they arrive at my door to knee my ex-spouse in the groin

5th-I'd open the door and let them take him away while he is writhing in pain on the floor.

**I am not going to hit him back with no protection there. We would just start fighting and I'd probably get jacked up in the midst of it, and why ruin my face and ruin my chances of finding another man?**

Answer 10

I would go fetch the paddle and bend over and ready myself for punishment...If she slapped me I musta done somethin bad and deserve the punishment.

Answer 11

What context ? Did I do something that deserved such a response, or is she insane ?

Answer 12

That depends

1. With just me and her in the room? I'd say, "now honey, calm down....."

2. In front of our kids? I'd get her our dentist on the phone after about 5 minutes,....because she'd be missing a couple of teeth.

Answer 13

I'd kick her @$$.

Answer 14

Not deserved: smile, learn patterns, gather evidence, divorce.

Possible become overly formal in speech and action.

Concept: hitting with out reason is wrong, and likely to happen again.

Deserverd: accept it.

Concept: the motivation behind it is understandable and is just a  slight being returned, or requested in some manner.

Acting in a manner as to provoke the second condition is viewed and treated as the first. Beware of the smiling man.

Answer 15

Call the police and have him arrested. File for divorce. Nobody hits me...NOBODY.

Answer 16

I'd have him move out and get anger managment counselling. We could discuss dating again in about a year (if I were still single) after he gets over his issues. My safety is not negotiable.

Answer 17

Well, well well...

I would thank her first then would ask her if she wants give any more slaps or any other punishment (belt etc)...after she finishes..I'll talk to her , if I am not sure why I was punished I'll ask her the same...then I'll apologize for my misbehaviour and thank her again for punishing me

I'll do this because I believe that there's lot of love between us, at the bottom of the anger and she's not slapping me just to make do the things as per her wish and there's extreme love and respect for me in her mind...if i am sure for that then i'll love her slaps just like her kisses....if she has all the rights to kiss me to express her feelings of love then she is also right in slapping me to express her feeling of frustration and at the bottom ther's love,trust , respect for me...she slapped me because she trusts me.....I'll better recieve hudreds of slaps/belts etc (ocassional of course) if that's taking away her frustrations keeping the love and trust intact...

Answer 18

Honestly, I would probably hit him back...many many times. I'm an emotional person, if I get angry enough I go crazy.

Answer 19

depends. did I slap him first. Was he slapping my @55 during hot s*x?

Need more info because ladies and gentleman there are occasions where we do in fact ask for it.

Answer 20

Slap him back, call him a jerk, and hand him a pillow and blanket and point to the couch.

Answer 21

I have been struck by women in the past, they got emotional and started striking out.

On one hand you think if she has the guts to hit she can stand to be hit back.

Of course men are taught that they can never strike a woman and so we typically don't do anything, maybe we will restrain the wench until she calms down.

I don't hit women but I have sorely wanted to on more than one occasion and if I had a daughter who was struck by a man I promise I would hit him.

Answer 22

Run to the my closet , get my bat and beat the sh*t out of him.

Last man who did that to me got all his stuff thrown on the driveway, never to be seen again.

Answer 23

happened once and once only, i slapped her proper right back, i believe that she will NEVER do it to another MAN

Answer 24

Call the police, have her arrested and charged with felony assault, get a restraining order, file for divorce, box up all her stuff and take it to her mother's house, and sell her car (that I bought).

Answer 25

I'd use simple common sense; turn around and leave till we both had time to cool off; once we cooled off we'd talk about what happened.  Each telling their side; always two sides; you know. I'd tell him how I felt about being hit and ask him to never do it again; after all were I do it; I just might get the c**p kicked out of me; after all fair is fair.  Relationships have to be level headed or they don't work.

Answer 26

Jump on him and bite his head.

nope..id burst into tears....( what?...i cry easily when something hurts)

and then id go tell my dad and brother so they can beat him up!

:D

Yes the men are very protective of the women in my family.

ooh Treffy...Kinky..:P

Answer 27

Slap them back or walk away. Don't want to cause a big fist fight.

Answer 28

Well, it would depend where he slapped me.  If it was on the bum then I would pretty much expect it, since that's what he normally does.

If he slapped me somewhere else, like the face for instance, then I would be pretty upset, since it would be unexpected.  However, if I had said something seriously provocative to him I would not be entirely surprised.  There is always a possibility of goading someone into physical aggression if you try hard enough.

Answer 29

Assuming you mean a slap with a violent intention, it would be the end of the relationship.  I'm not very good at taking hits to the face, and if she does it once, sooner or later she'll probably do it again, and I don't want to go to jail when I lose it and smack her back, which of course would be exactly what would happen.  Also, who's to say next time she won't have a knife in her hands?

Answer 30

Slap 'em back?

No, I'd leave. Definitely.  If they hit once, they'll more than likely hit again.

Answer 31

Spine chilling death glare. Maybe pin her against the wall and have a short chat. If she can't keep her hands to herself, I'll have to keep her hands to herself.
