[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was OPs hand opened or closed?  If opened, and she bitch-slapped him a couple of times, do you really think he's gonna call the cops on her?  Men, would you call on your DW for something like this?[/quote]

DH here.  I would ask her to leave for the night so that we could both cool our heads.  If she refused, I would call the cops.[/quote]

You're assuming she had some place safe to go, which may not be the case.

I'm interested that the husband seems to be getting a mostly free pass here.  Responding to his verbal abuse with physical abuse is wrong of course, especially in front of a child, but the husband actually initiated the altercation.  Isn't verbal abuse a mitigating factor in a domestic violence episode?  Also, I could not respect any man who would have his wife and the mother of his child arrested for one incident. [/quote]

I am not assuming anything. The question was whether I would call the cops on MY wife.....MY wife has most of her immediate family in the area so she would have somewhere to go.

Is he getting a pass?  The husband is an azz, but did he initiate the physical altercation? Would you feel differently if the OP said something and her DH hit her repeatedly in the head?  Would he still get a pass? If you say something unkind to your DH, are you giving him license to knock you upside the head?

And I could not respect any spouse or parent, male or female, who resorts to physical violence in response to a verbal remark. [/quote]
