I know I shouldn't have hit him, but he was doing something to me that I felt was degrading, so I slapped him...if only lightly. It wasn't an open palm slap in the face, I just slapped him on the cheek with my fingers, and he returned the slap, hard and open-palmed. He wasn't...

Ehh.. nobody should hit anybody. But I would consider that a red flag. Might not necessarily be a violent person, but at least you can tell he's a huge pussy, for reacting that way to a tiny slap.

If he was doing something degrading to you, that's the red flag. You slapping him wasn't wise and him slapping you was also bad. I'd leave him on the basis that you were not respected by him. Physical violence is never good, but psychological abuse shows you what someone really thinks of another person.

Well I don't normally hit people, but I have been hit by an ex girlfriend and hit her back. I think it was a bit of an impulse due to when she hit me I hit her straight back after getting a fright because she just did it out of randomness, but if there's a pause between when you hit him and he hit you back it was probably out of anger. Yet if he continues to hit you no matter if you hit him or not just leave it's not normal for either partner to hit each other.

Probably a red flag.. If (when he slapped you) it really felt like a reflex and Immediately after he looked shocked and embarrassed it might not have meant much. But if , in that moment, u saw a different, scary, aggressive look in his face (you'll know it when you see it, trust me) then be worried! U shouldn't have hit him, but don't let anyone tell u that it's ok for a man to hit u! No matter what anyone says, men have more strength than we do and can do a lot more damage-and follow your gut feeling on his intentions.

You slap somebody, you're getting slapped back. Simple. Aren't you guys (girls) for equal treatment?

I would consider it a red flag and leave, only because most guys I know wouldn't have slapped back. None of the men in my family would've slapped back.

However really you shouldn't hit him. It's not fair, especially since they can't hit back. If you think he's doing something degrading, leave. Unless he was doing something physically degrading, like forcing himself on you?

You shouldn't have slapped him and he more than likely got angry with you. You guys should talk it out.

I guess that's fair. You shouldn't have hit him, and I mean I wouldn't have hit back, but I wouldn't really hit anyone unless they were seriously hurting me. But I can totally understand his instinctive reaction, it was sort of both your faults.
