I got into an argument with my girlfriend the other day, and she got really sassy with me. I'm sorry to say that I lost it and smacked her. I hit her harder than I thought because I was drunk, and she fell back.
She got up, and started screaming at me. I started to approach her again. I wasn't going to hit her, but she thought I was, and she kicked me in the balls. Real hard. I fell down, and by the time I could breath and get back on my feet, someone --maybe a neighbor--had called the police.
After we both told our stories, I ended up spending the night in jail. The police said that I was the "primary agressor" becasue I started it, and I was a bigger threat, and she felt "reasonably threatened" to act in self-defense.
What I don't get is, how is that self-defense, to respond to a slap with a kick in the balls? She knows I'm no threat to her. I think that I was treated unfairly. Is there any recourse I have? Can I have her charged with assault
