You're lucky it was just slaps. My ex was laying haymakers on me at a party for asking a girl for a ciggarette and I grabbed her arms to stop her after a minute of just taking it. (I have a strong chin) - then when I let go she unleashed a flurry of punches on me again and I pushed her away. She did a soccer player fall and started crying - some guys saw this and ran over and took her back into the party and told me I had to leave. I said "I'm not leaving without my girl" because we lived together and they threatened to fight me so I went home. She showed up 3 hours later and while I was shooting the shit with people in my living room she drew all over my walls in pencil and kicked a hole in the bathroom wall. She moved out the next day and her friends wouldn't let her talk to me because I was a "womanizer." Guess they didn't know about her alcohol problems. This was about 5 years ago when these issues weren't as popular too. I was also raped and robbed by a woman in the same town via a spiked drink she handed me. Some of the stuff on this sub is a bit much but I definitely believe there is a problem with this double standard.
