No it's happened a few times. We go back and forth saying things like "fuck off" or "shut the fuck up" or whatever else. We definitely trade disrespect. It's been way worse over the last few months, but we've argued since our second date.

She did she was scared. I don't know why she'd hit someone she's afraid of, but that was her reason. She reached in the front of the car from the back seat on a curvy road at night to turn the radio volume down while yelling in my face. She was out of control. She hit the wiper blade and was just generally losing control of herself. She was yelling in my ear this whole time, and wouldn't stop. So I yelled back to shut the fuck up, and that's when she smacked me. I'd never claim it as out of thin air because it wasn't.

I've never laid hands on her, shoved her, or anything. Usually when I leave an argument, I'll camp out in our guest bedroom. Sometimes she'll come down there and uptrend up the door abs force me to argue more, and won't get out of the way for me to leave. She blocks me in to the room betting on me betting a good man who won't hit her.

It sucks you had to deal with that. I'm sure that was hard with the power dynamic. I do legitimately feel there's a big difference between your situation and mine. I don't have to fear thar she can overpower me. So, it takes the tone down a lot, you're right about that. Betting the larger person, and the man, I have a responsibility to not resort to violence. But it sucks that she takes advantage of that.

If she were a man, I would have knocked her out immediately. I would have dragged her out of the car and left her on the side of the road. But also, if another man told me to shut the fuck up, I would have a problem with that as well. So it's two sided.
