Ladies, would you forgive a man who hit you and take him back?

I can understand that...

Hell No I would pick up a stick..

I wish there was an idk button but it does depend on the person and the long break that you have taken away from them.

No way!

I would make sure he couldn't walk anyplace

If he is an abuser once, he will be again a second time and so on. Unless he seek professional help. And even that will take some time to prove that he changed. In a situation like that, sometimes people do things in which they later regret, and sincerely mean they are sorry, but they will have to seek professional help to be sure.

I'm a guy, but any man who hits a woman (and isnt sorry) should be thrown in jail. I've never hit a girl, myself and I don't plan to start.

The cycle of abuse is much more intricate than most people realize. At this point, I would not allow myself to be abused the way I did in the past. After getting divorced and then having significant others who were all abusive in one way or another, I realized that I was deeply damaged and stopped becoming romantically involved. This was not only for my own sake, but also for my son's. At this point he is an adult and lives in his own home, but I still do not want him being exposed to questionable people. I have to work out the damage to me before I could pick an appropriate partner, and at this point I don't think I'm capable of having the type of feelings necessary to be in a romantic relationship anyway.
My aunt was badly abused by her first husband. (I refuse to call that man my uncle.) She was with him for 25 years because she was afraid to leave. She eventually did get away from him. She is now married to a wonderful man whom I'm proud to call my uncle. But it took him 13 years to get her over the fear of marrying again.

you really need a depend or maybe button. But i would put maybe/depends. As in, lets say, they actually stop it and change for the better, than yes, would take them back. But if you see that they will never change then nope. So you see, it can go both ways.

I might forgive him for hitting me, but taking him back wouldn't happen.

No, I tried that in my first marriage and then found out that they usually escalate over time and go through the cycle of violence.

he did it once - he'll do it again.
abuse only escalates. if a man hits you, don't let the grass grow under your feet. get out immediately.

never

I hope I wouldn't, anyway.

It's called respecting myself. If he doesn't respect me then I don't give him the chance to not disrespect me again.

it is called the CYCLE of abuse for a reason ..
once the person demonstrates that there's violence in the relationship ..
it can be a 'honeymoon' period ..
they'll try to say .. not again ..
but in REALITY ..

the CYCLE goes faster and faster ..
the abuse gets greater and greater ..
and .. sadly enough ..
the MOST Dangerous time ..
is right after you say .. NO MORE ..
(you need to have a good safety plan in place and that includes helpful caring friends)

because even if you stay .. there's a good chance you OR your children could DIE at this one's hands too ..

Never

i wouldnt unless it were really an accident like we were wrestling and he accidentally slapped me or something...

I'll be honest if, if I ever found out a girlfriend of mine was hit by her boyfriend I would lose it. I would beat the boy until he begs her forgiveness and then its her choice to do whatever she wants after that. I don't care if she would hate me, if he won't fear the ramifications of hitting a girl he damn well will fear me hearing about it.

What and wait to be killed. I would have him arrested.

I actually did take back my first husband after he had hit me. Then it happened again. So my advise to anyone is, if they hit you once, they'll hit you again. Dump him.

Um....that would be a big fat no!

not too bright..

There should have been another option. I stayed with the father of my son for 3 years after he started hitting me, however, I am a firm believer that NO woman that wants to hit a man should be exempt from being hit back! So in all reality, my answer would be maybe

Why would anyone hit anyone else?

stupid choice.

"Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice, shame on me."

Very true and a catchy little phrase!

Thanks.

Still want a maybe button.
It "depends". I think the politically correct answer would be 'no'. but what if it took a while for an abusive side to come? what if i'm just so in love that I'll put up with anything?
I say no, but would I change my mind later? It depends.

Then you would need a psychiatrist, because it is abnormal to tolerate abuse.

I don't do maybe buttons. BTW you don't need a maybe button. I have seen it too many times with women. You chose the correct button for you. You would keep being a victim.

Couldn't. I'd be in jail. :)

LOL

Nope id take care of his Ase real qwick

NO

NOOOO ! i'd be like bitch then hit him back, lmao xD just kidding , i would leave. be with someone who makes you happy not someone who makes you cry xD

I don't forgive women who hit me, either... except my mother, when I was spanked for being a brat.
