DH smacked me hard on my hand

[SisterMcKenzie]

I was driving.

We wore goofing about the channel on the radio. Joking

or so I thought.

Suddenly he me hit me hard on my hand/arm for what I thought was playing.

I was so angry I left

it was my fault because I was being annoying???

Good for you.

No compromise possible here.

It wasn't your fault- you know that.

No matter how 'annoyed' he was, that doesn't give him the right to hit you. And doing so while you were driving is bloody dangerous.

Where are you now? Are you ok? Is this the first time this has happened?

WTF? No it wasn't your fault. An adult doesn't punish another adult. There is no justification for hitting somebody - maybe self defence or if you're trying to save their life.

Are you OK?

Was he goofing around? Doesn't make it ok but just don't get what happened

We were laughing at cheesy music on the radio, he was turning down, I was jokingly pushing his hand away. We were laughing, then whacked me on my arm.
I blurted out "What the fuck did you just do??"
I left him at the destination and went home.

Still fucking fuming tbh

Yeah Im ok, thanks, just angry.

Good for you op. Don't give him the chance to do it again. Did he apologise? Was he utterly mortified?

He got the train home.
When he got in DD and I were watching Shrek 2.
He wanted it off because DSD wanted to watch Doctor Who.
I said no we were finishing the movie.
Bloody cheek.

Still angry

So you and your respective children live together, or at least his DD visits?

Not a good situation at all and more worrying given that there are children to think of.

How long have you been together?

What's the relationship like overall?

I'd be thinking very hard about this. I would find it especially worrying that he hit you 'automatically' when a physical, playful scuffle was going on. That would send a very worrying message to me.

Did you talk about it?
