volcano Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 During an argument last night my partner called me a name. He called me a Sl*g. This is not the first time he has called me this and he is really nasty with it. The thing is last night I had enough and hit him. I am not proud of it and feel gutted but It hurts so much to be called something like that from the person who is supposed to love me. My dad also used to call my mum things like this and I once lashed out and hit him too for doing it. I feel gutted that I have lashed out like that and do think I should control my anger but my partner refuses to see what he did was also appaling and is just saying how horrible I am for hitting out. I cant handle this anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyro Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It's only a word. People say many things when they get upset. Unless there is some truth in the word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natalie H Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 You hit out in frustration. I am not saying what you did was right, it would have been better if you could have got rid of your frustration in another way but you can't change that now. He should not have called you what he did. How long have you been together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is your partner after the assault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
