if my partner ever hit me (outside a context that was appropriate), my first move would be going to the cops, second would be packing up my shit and leaving. it's honestly the only thing that i know a person could do and i would immediately call it quits.
there are lots of other things that may or may not be a deal-breaker for me...i imagine i would leave if he cheated, but i've never been in that situation so perhaps i would be willing to try to work it out. i guess the only thing i've got aside from the hitting me, is if he gives up and isn't willing to do the work to repair what's not working in the relationship. i won't give more than i'm given--if he isn't willing to meet me half way in the relationship, he's not worth my effort.
