My exhusband used to hit me. I stayed in the relationship hoping I could help him, well we all know that wishing for something, doesn't make it happen. I divorced him. I started dating this guy who was very nice, one night, as I was getting up off the couch I stepped on his toe, he hit me. I was really stunned, he apologized right away and said it was a reflex. After about 4 or 5 more "reflexes" I finally gave him an ultimatum - he either got help for his anger problem or I was leaving. I have to say I didn't think it could be done...."once a hitter, always a hitter"...but that was 5 years ago, and he hasn't hit me since. We still argue and he still gets mad, now he just walks away or goes out to the garage. If you love him, and want to stay with him, I would make him go to counseling, truly, don't wait until it happens again, it most likely will.
