So I wanted to get someone else's opinion on the situation..I'm not sure if I'm in the wrong.
So driving in the car me and my bf start arguing. It wasn't screaming or getting out of control, and when I go to say something back he starts yelling at me to shut my fucking mouth. Which pisses me off anyways and seems to happen a lot. Like you can say what you want but I can't because you don't want to hear it? So I get pissed and say I'm not a child you don't control what I say or order me around like a dog..so he reaches over while he's driving and slaps me in the mouth. I don't think it was very hard, it didn't leave a mark but it totally made me snap and I right away like a reflex punch him in the eye. He had his hand up after he slapped me the first time like he'd do it again if I said something else and it just made me snap. I meant to just slap him back but idk why I chose to use my fist..I was just so pissed I wasn't thinking. Anyways me punching him totally made him snap and he full out attacked me and punched me in the mouth and just went after me. His punch defiantly wasn't as hard as mine idk if he restrained himself or just couldn't get to me as good. He got to the house and tried to drag me out of the car while I'm trying to grab my stuff and ending up leaving and saying it was over..along with some other really nasty things. All I could tell him is you shouldn't have slapped me, what did you expect me to do? He's mad because I hit him so much harder then he hit me I guess. Every other fight we've had he always ends up pushing me around getting into my face and grabbing me by the throat. A few months ago he said he thinks I'm weak because I don't try and defend myself..I just try and walk away because I don't want it to escalate. The few times I pushed him back it would totally make him snap and he would really come at me. I feel like if someone hits you then you have the right to hit back..man or woman. If I hit him first and got hit back I would never go crying about it..no matter how hard it was. I feel like he's just mad because someone finally had the balls to hit back. He dropped me off and left probably not even 5 mins after I hit him and his face was really swollen and his eye was turning black..so I kind of feel like an asshole.
