Assault?

Is it assault if a husband spanks a wife? It happened during a disagreement. Not sure how to feel, other than embarrassed.

(Not much detail as I'm to sure what to say tbh.)

I'm also curious why you don't want to do anything about it. I'm not castigating you, just wondering if you can articulate why you don't think this is worthy of action on your part.

And re: your thread title, yes it is assault.

Not that you'll ever get him to admit that.
