Answer 1

don't let him get away with it honey. i know you love him but no one deserves that. press charges and take him to court for the money. no matter what you decide, take lots of pictures of your face (with the date), so you have evidence of it

Answer 2

I don't understand if he's working and maybe getting overtime as well and getting SSI. That is for people that have a disability. If he is able to work he's cheating the government and all tax payers. If you have proof he owes you this money ask for it. If he won't pay you try to make some kind of an agreement on how he will pay you back. If he won't pay at all, take him to court and take the proof with you. Hitting a woman is against the law, phone the police and tell them what he did. You might have to go to the ER and get checked out. I don't know what disability he has but maybe you need to think about that as well. You also pushed him so I think a judge may go very easy on him. You have to make the choice yourself but still, no man has the right to hit a woman. He should have walked away but in truth, you should have left right away. I don't know if this helps you at all but I believe you already have the answers. Good luck and take care.

Answer 3

Its hard to do the right thing, specially when you have strong feelings for someone. He wont change. He dont deserve you and you never deserve what happened. People get into each others nerves all the time, even if your angry or not. You have to be strong and continue with your life. No matter what people say, you have to move on. Press charges, you also have a better chance in getting your money back. You have to think of your self. You know what to do. I feel you will ignore everything everyone has told you and still go back! PLEASE DONT. he wont change even if he sucks up your *** all day. Charge him and let the police deal with it. You, go and get your self esteem back, coz any strong girl with a normal self esteem would never consider going back, specially even if he does owe you cash. Its a state of mind that your in, you have to make your self strong and help your self. you will get your money back. He will hit you again-and maybe he has in the past but you let it pass. Be strong and press charges-Let him learn his lesson or he will do it someone else. I feel you! But I think you know what to do. You deserve more then this.

Answer 4

Please press charges. Any man that will do that once will do it again. I understand that he had a bad day and that you were in his face. That does not give him the right to hurt you... physically, emotionally, at all. And do not get back together with him. If you let him hit you once, your future together will be nothing but pain.
I know it's hard, I know it sucks, but you have to be strong. This is not acceptable behavior from anyone in society, let alone someone you are that close with. You can sue him for the $1100 if you need it that badly. Otherwise, I would just accept that the money is gone and move on with your life.

Answer 5

Are you kidding me!? Of course you press charges. You must have a zero tolerance when it comes to that garbage. I've spent most of my life trying to figure out the many differences between men and women. Most men (including me) won't talk about an issue if they are not ready, while the woman insists that the discussion take place right then and there. Should you have left before it escalated, yes. If the police were called before he hit you (maybe if a neighbor heard yelling, etc...) you both could have been taken in and booked/cited. So, regardless of anything else, he should be held accountable for his actions. Press charges. If anyone did that to my sis, well, I think you could fill in the blanks.

Answer 6

its a lovers quarrel. you know man sometimes needs a space,bugging him in the wrong time makes the situation worst. didnt you ever think to give him a space so he can breath a little.?but anyway im not in favor of hurting you physically, its not proper to treat a lady like what he did to you. in that manner, the first thing you should do when he punched you , immediately you consult a doctor for medical examination, and get medical certificate as a proof, that if you will file a case. without proof of evidence the case will be dismiss. about the money, you can still get it back, he will pay you, just remind him that he owes you, and also tell this to his mother. theres another option, if you really love him that much, forget and forgive, maybe its a trial to both of you. at least you knew already his moods. let the time passes by, wounds can heal. better have the determination if you really like to quit. but if i were on your situation i'd rather quit and file a case, physical injuries

Answer 7

I think you should press charges and men really should never hit a woman. Let me tell you my experience, I dated this girl and I was really sweet and respected her a lot and let her have her way sometimes. After every date, I walked her to her car and hugged her good nite. To make the story short, on our third date, after the movie, we walked out and I said how beautiful the moon was. Then she goes to me and says that all of a sudden her ex-boyfriend just came back into her life. I totally wanted to shove her into the streets because it hurt so much. I felt so betrayed and hurt, but I did not want to harm her. After all, I am a nice guy.

As with the money that he owes you, you can go to civil court and get that money back from him. As long as you have proof that he legitimately owes you the money, I am sure you can go to claims court to get that money back. Hope this helps.

Answer 8

hell yeah you should press charges. Matter of fact you can get more money if you do (for pain and suffering). He needs to be punished for what he did. If he could do it now than he can do it again. You seem like a very caring person and he doesn't deserve you. You deserve better than that. You need a real man who doesn't hit women!!!!!!

Answer 9

Report him. You don't want him doing this to someone else later. Charges might force him into therapy.
I'd sue for the money in small claims court. I think a ruling can be made in your favor even if he's in jail.

Answer 10

press charges as fast as you can b/c it will hapen again and tell the police you want your money there are many men out there you can stillfall back in love
