Husband has not contacted me yet!

Hey, I'm going to keep this short and simple.
Me and my husband had an argument which resulted in him slapping me in the face ( This is the 4th time in our marriage), I then called the cops on him and he was taken away for the night, I decided not to press any charges.
During our argument he started throwing all the house i teams all over the place, he even managed to lift the bed mattress and put it in front of the door because apparently he was taking back everything that he brought since I told him to leave the house ( it's in my name).

I know you might be thinking why am I asking this question, it's because I feel partly to blame as I was calling him a really horrible names. I think that affected his masculinity and made him feel less of a man. Which caused him to slap me.
It's been 3 months and we both haven't spoken to each other in ready to move on but I can't help but feel guilty. Since then I've just been locking myself in the house hardly going out apart from work. What would you do in my situation?

See a solicitor and start divorce proceedings

I pressed charges the last time my (ex) husband did something similar.

We're now divorced.

What WWWW said.

I’d get over it.

Even if you feel guilty, I think you’ve been punished enough by him hitting you.

And in case my sarcasm isn’t translating: there is NO excuse for him putting his hands on you. Not EVER.

Don't feel guilty. Don't minimize. It was the fourth time. He's totally unstable.

Begin divorce proceedings tomorrow morning. And don't look back!

Divorce him and next time you call the cops press charges instead of ultimately wasting their time.
