Would you forgive a guy who hit you only once in a three yea

1: tell her to take martial arts, she needs to improve her self esteem class
2: BOTH of them need to go to anger management, it's not just him that doesn't know when to stop, he just went over the line, but who is to say she didn't hit him as well?
3: she will probably stick with him, so tell her to get some advice from women who has gone through this and know the stages so that she won't fo further deep and can't go out.
4.she needs counseling since if she accepts him, she needs to know why she takes the abuse.

Forgive. But don't forget.

But should you walk away? Maybe. That is up to you. I will say that it might happen again in the future.

know if the guy you're dating will hit you again after he's hit you once. Usually, all the stats say it does happen again in most cases. That's something for you to think about.

I think people are being a little bias in there comments....men experience the same emotions as women and react in similar ways.

I have definitely slapped a boyfriend before for something he did. But that was only one time and never ever happened again (and we were together a looooooonnnng time). So how can you say that a guy couldn't do the same? It's less morally acceptable but it COULD be possible.

However, I think these types of questions depend on the person. Some people have a higher level of control than others. I have friends whose boyfriends hit them and never stopped. I also have friends whose boyfriends hit them once and never did it again.

It depends.....

My remark would apply to your boyfriend who you slapped too. It might very well happen again.

[tinklink09]

Exactly....but at the same time it might not. My point was that people look at it differently and that's not fair. They would prob tell him to stay with me. Objective advice is always more useful.

Advice that it may happen again us great...I just don't agree with comments that indicate actions are cut and dry...like "once a cheater, always a cheater" or "all men cheat". It just seems too simplistic to me and the world is not quite like that.

However, if I were in the situation I may leave also. But there are too many unknown variables in this story for me to actually give advice and dictate it's truth.
