My boyfriend hit me. He swore he would never do it again. Should i give him a 2nd chance?

Question

He was drunk and angry and hit me really hard in my face. I would just like opinions of others because i am really young and i dont know how typical this is. Thank You

Answer 1

If they do it once, 95% of men will do it again, and again! Dump his butt now girl! Trust me, you don't need that. NEVER accept a man hitting you!

Answer 2

people who hit or punch in the face are that type of people who you should never be having a relationship with at all.

DUMP HIM RIGHT NOW.

He may say sorry and ask for another chance, but he will get drunk again & most likely he will hit you again, because when he is drunk he won't think about his promise, and he will act according to his nature, which is to hit people.

Answer 3

Well, it depends on what you did. Hitting is only a sign that someone has lost control and can't deal with their emotions. I know from experiance that not all guys are "wife-beaters" just because the lost it once in a blue moon. If he is sorry and you really feel that he won't do it again then you should give it another chance but keep your gaurde up and only trust him as far as you can throw him, which hopefully is not that much.

Answer 4

He was drunk and angry. Thats not an excuse, thats another problem. He has three strikes against him:
1, He lets himself get drunk, and thinks his irresponsibility excuses his actions,
2. He cant control his anger!
3. Somehow , somewhere deep inside the part of him that maybe only comes out when he is intoxicated, he has some serious disrespect for you and for women in general. Real men dont hit women, PERIOD
Try your hardest to set your feelings aside and leave this jerk.

Answer 5

I hope he's not really young as well. I think drinking at a young age is not smart. I would give him one more chance. If it seems like he's about to do it again, don't hesitate leaving. I would advise you to stay away from him while he's drinking, in a different room, or even better a different building. Anything can happen when someone gets drunk. Please be careful.

Answer 6

no matter what the situation is a male should never hit a female. you are probably young, but no mater what age you are, you should never let a man hit you. don't know if he will do it again even he doesn't that first time is enough. I have never been in that situation but a friend has and to see her go through so much physically really hurts as a friend. so please be smart and never let it happen again because it's now in your hand to let it happen again or be smart and walk away.

Answer 7

If he hit you once, even when drunk, which is worse, he will do it again. Dont count to ten, get out now, as fast as you can.
He will begging you not to leave him and he will never hit you again. But sober, he may not, but he's a bad drunk, and he will certainly, sooner or later, hit you and hard. It could be much worse next time.
GET OUT NOW!!

Answer 8

The only way you should give him a second chance is if he goes to counseling with you. If he don't he Will hit you again. Besides if you have to ask this question then you already know the answer.

Answer 9

NO..... Once a beater always a beater. People can change but when it comes to abuse then that person needs a lot of counceling and help. I would only take him back if he promises to get help. Don't give him a 2nd chance unless u know he did get help.

Answer 10

There has been times when i irrate my boyfriend to the point that he wants to slap me but in this case i would say no unless he vows to give up alcohol. Alcohol alters the state of mind and if your boyfriend can't control himself when intoxicated he should'nt drink, you may want to talk to him about what he has done and express any feelings that you may have towards his action. Best of luck.
