I'm a guy.
I was raised by a single mum and have a sister of a similar age to me.
While my mum had a brother, I didn't see him much.
Instead, I saw a lot more of her many sisters.
Basically I grew up around a lot of women.
I'm not sure if this is the reason I've grown up thinking being physically abusive in a relationship is bad, but I like to think it's not.
If that was the reason, then those people that do abuse would have an excuse for why they think it's OK.
For me, there's no reason for anyone to be physically abusive in a relationship, and I'm not just talking about guys hitting girl.
Guys hitting girls, girls hitting guys, it shouldn't be happening either way.
I mean, why did you go out with this person if they're going to annoy you so much you're going to hit them? And how could hitting your partner help your relationship in any way shape or form? The simple answer is this: It wont.
If anything it'll only make things worse.
If you're in a physically abusive relationship I urge you to get out.
There's no reason to stay with someone that hits you, you can find someone who will treat you like you deserve to be treated.
Being "in love" isn't reason enough to stay in an abusive relationship, and if your partner truly loved you they wouldn't be hitting you! Have a child with this abusive partner? They're not fit to be a parent, do yourself and your child a favour and get out now! Man or woman, you should NEVER put up with a physically abusive partner.
You deserve so much better, so don't settle for less.
