I'm sorry this happened to you but to me (any many others), a man should never ever ever lay a finger on a woman no matter what the reason, no matter how angry he may be. I'm appalled and upset that this happened to you. Is this the first time it has ever happened? I'm just afraid that since this has happened, it might happen again. It could be just one slap now, but there could be other underlying issues behind that slap. Tell someone you trust about it, there's no shame to it and it's not healthy to keep it to yourself or make excuses for him. If you are not comfortable talking to another family member or friend about what happened (which I feel strongly you should), you can contact the AWARE Helpline to get advice and assistance 1800 774 5935. When things have cooled down, I recommend talking to your husband and if needed, therapy - individually and as a couple. http://www.aware.org.sg/support-services/helpline/ But if you at any time feel unsafe, you should leave immediately and notify the authorities.

I'm sorry that this happened.You need to be strong and you need to to think about things. I think you both need to sit and talk about what's happened but firstly you both need thinking time. If possible, stay at your mum's or friend's place first to cool down first and think through things. After a few days when both of you have calm down and clearer mind, sit down and talk through things. If situation needed, you can seek professional help by going through counselling. I hope things will turn out well with you and your husband.

How are you now my dear? During heated arguments, it is so hard to control ourself. I agree that men should not hit women...no men should do that. But since damages already done and he apologised, ask yourself whether he deserve to give a second chance? If yes, both of you should talk it out once cooled down on the do's and dont's when quarrel. Most of the time..during heated arguments, I will walk away from my hubby or kids. If not, I really cannot imagine what the bad things I will do.

Woah ... what are you entertaining & why are you entertaining. A slap? That's violence woman.. Stop it now.. 'Wont happen again' is just a temporary assurance till it does. Remember-what you allow is what will continue.He has shown you clear signs of male battering..Firmly tell him to back off such behavior... Be strong-understand what you can do to stop such behavior.. Consult someone legally for extreme case. Also do you have kids who have witnessed this? Even more dangerous...

My ex hubby used to hit me too. I tolerated it for 3 years, always telling myself that he will change. I stayed on thinking that i don't wan my daughter to be in a broken family. But he didn't change at all. I finally drew up the courage to take my girl and leave. I am now remarried and my hubby koves my daughter very much. I'm not encouraging you to get a divorce but most of the time, they don't change. You need to know what's best for u and ur kids (if u have any). Take care!

Hope you are alright!! I sincerely hope that this is just a one-time incident and that it wouldn't happen again. But if I were you, after this first time I would probably be somewhat wary of him. Do take note and please protect yourself in case he does it again, or worst, become more violent. Speak to someone you trust as I can imagine this is probably quite traumatizing for you. Take care!! *hugz*

A man should never lay hands on a woman! I am a believer that a leopard will not change it's spots. If he ever lay hands on you again, please do not just ignore it and protect yourself from future abuse.
