My wife hits me?

I'm not saying that she bashes me to a pulp or physically subdues me. It doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes if we have an argument and I talk back to her she flies off the handle and beats me with her fists. She doesn't hold back at all, she does it literally as hard as she is physically able.

Last night we had an argument because she told me to take her laundry off the line at 5pm and also because we don't use pegs and one of her shirts fell on the grass. I told her that I left it out because it was still wet and that it will not rain because there are no clouds in the sky and that I did nothing wrong and that she should respect other peoples opinions so she punched me in the guts. I think it is bruised internally because I can still feel it in the morning.

Later I stood up to her and took her to task about it. I told her that hitting people is unacceptable, that she is responsible for her own actions and that she is being a bully. She just agues with me that it's my fault and that I did the wrong thing and she doesn't really accept my point.

I don't really like being hit and I'm not very happy about it.

What is a man supposed to do?

    Hitting is a bad thing, but some people just do it. I actually do as well when I get mad. However, I have learned to punch a wall or something instead of a person

    However, your wife seems to want to hit you... this is complex because you are married. If you were dating I would suggest break up, but divorcing is hard

    Yell at her about your opinions maybe? Maybe you're being to passive to her? Might not be the best idea, but that's all I've got. Sorry I couldn't help more

    I hope you don't have children. If that's the case, divorce this bully. If there are children, file for divorce and ask for full custody, based on the fact that you are an abused spouse and you're afraid for the children's safety. She's doing this because you allow her to get by with it. Either leave or meet her with equal force. You figure out what that means. Every time she gives you a blow, give her one back, only more forceful.Then send her home to her parents.

    You sound like such a pathetic and sad little wimp. You should be the one hitting her, not the other way around. You need to make sure that she knows that you're the boss in the house through physical force. Every woman needs to know her place in this world, and your wife definitely doesn't. Women were put here on this earth to do the deeds of man, because it was a woman that brought sin into this world by eating the Forbidden Fruit from the Tree Of Life.

    Your wife is a violent, bully swine, LEAVE HER! Also it be good t press charges, if police in your part of the world are sane and will take this as seriously as it is. This is

    VERY serious abuse.

    A little role reversal, huh ma'am? If you're looking for someone to support your treatment of your battered spouse, I'm the wrong guy.

    You need to have a talk with her about it and tell that's not okay and that it's needs to stop. If she lashes out, I suggest marriage counseling. If it continues or gets worse, file for divorce.

    After a few times of her hitting me with her fist, I would have hit her back with closed fists. If she has the balls to hit me with her fist, then she has the balls to get what comes back to her,

    You should leave the marriage. She is abusive and full of toxic anger. It would be very unhealthy for you to stay in such situations relationship.

    Most people in an abusive relationship get a divorce. I would not stay in that relationship. Why do you want to stay?
