Lunis coming rom a battered situation which I left in August after years of it, opnce they do it they will again!!!!! No man should ever lft a hand to a woman, he isnt a man he is a coward! They may need therapy before this happens again. It also depends many women stay when there are small children involved. Good luck to her.

She should not have easily forgave him, once he realizes he can hurt her and she will come back to him it will make it easier for him to do it over and over agian. Men like him are disgusting.

I think she should see if their situation improves. If it happens again, they should go have therapy as zemrat suggested.

i don think he ll be doing it again if he really loves her...if he does tht again then she shud take tough steps to stop him from doing tht again....

It depends. If something happens once, it can happen again. I personally have been hit by my partner, but it was a spur of the moment thing. A lot of the time it is a reaction to what's happening. If they were in a heated argument and he hit her, she probably said or did something to make him react that way.

My boyfriend apologized. But, immediately after he hit me (I fell to the floor in shock), he dropped to my side and started crying and just holding me. That showed me it really -was- just spur of the moment and in normal circumstances it would have never happened. These decisions or awareness levels need to be found out.

Also, if he hits her in a moment that would be considered normal, she should talk to someone about it immediately. Especially if children are involved. Has he ever hit any of the children - properly?

Why woudl you dare say it was her fault if she said or did somethign wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!No one deserves that I dont care there is no reason to hi anyone!!!!!!!!!

With the kind of reaction the husband has got, I dont think he will ever hit her anytime in his life. He had apologised, that it self shows that the husband loves her so much. He is far better than those husbands who think that it is their right to be unaplogetically torture their wives.
Forgive and forget....

I think she was right to forgive him. But if this happens again, I thnk it will keep on happening again so she must do something to stop it when it does.
