No, I don't think the scenario as I understood it from Catnipped
warrants that kind of action. I am sorry, I veered off the original
topic after reading Tweed's post, which is an entirely different
scenario. I believe any man who could haul off and smack a woman hard
enough to knock her down, for no other reason than he's simply in a
pissed-off mood, DOES deserve to go to jail, no second chances.
DH&I don't have a volatile or aggressive bone in our bodies. I can't
even imagine him yelling at me, or me at him. We used to socialize with
couples who argued, even in front of people. It makes both of us
nervous.

I'm confused, Sherry. You're saying CN and Ben's situation does not
warrant calling the cops or a breakup; yet you say that any man who
smacks a woman hard enough to knock her down should go to jail. He did
knock her down; hence her injuries.

It seems a dichotomy. I'm not expressing an opinion, just confused as
to your opinion.

He didn't smack her, as I understand it. I'm not sure what he did; I
don't understand what a belly-whatever is. The situation seems to me
entirely different from a man who comes in drunk, which is the
situation Tweed described; and starts smacking on a defenseless woman
because dinner is late.
I have never had anyone hit me. I'm not sure what DH would DO if I got
in his face and said "Yeah, go ahead, hit me." I've never done that,
and never would. I wouldn't have him arrested if he hit me. I wouldn't
be able to, because I'd be dead. I would absolutely die the sheer shock
and disbelief.
