Whether you need a place to vent, someone to hold you to No Contact, or need advice about what to do, we're here to help.
You will be miserable with this guy and maybe even bruised. Get out while you can and don't look back!
I think we tend to focus on the physical abuse more than all the others but even though he was not bleeding what do you think that does to someones self esteem and emotions if they are slapped for not sharing your point of view.
I feel he should not have hit you, I feel you should not have hit him either. Please focus on the abuse no matter who is doing it. A slap does not mean less because it comes from a woman. Still hurts your self esteem.
But yes I think you should leave. Once violence is introduced by EITHER of you it only escalates. Let him know what he did is unacceptable and show him that he will lose you and any other woman he is with if he resorts to violence. Recommend he get counseling and tell him you are doing the same.
An apology for slapping him wouldn't hurt. He should do the same for grabbing ad throwing you.
