I've kicked the oh out after he said it's ok to hit a woman if she hit first. I agreed violence I'd never the answer, but if she slapped his face for calling her a slut, he still shouldn't hit her back. I know he's going to try pulling all sorts of crap, but I'm not wrong am I

Nobody should hit anyone, end of story. Calling someone a slut is being abusive.
Sounds like it's all very toxic and your better off apart.
Apparently the "boys" at work agree with him. I swear some people need a reality check. Hes lashed out before, without provocation
Well if that's what he and his mates say at work you are well and truly better off without him. This is definitely a red flag for future behaviour.
You don't need to be right. It's your relationship and you know when it's not right or acceptable for you.
Don't entertain him when he tries all his crap this time. No reaction.
Keep moving forward.
Sometimes physical force is needed to defend yourself. It doesn't matter what the gender is - if someone hits you or is about to hit you, and you can't walk away, then defend yourself.
Agree. I have watched a woman fully attack a man. I watched as I was on a bus in traffic. When people forced him to let go oncr he managed to over power her she attacked again. Those who forced him to let go walked away and she laid into him again. He could have punched her but tried to do the right thing it seemed. Found out weeks later he didn't charge her as he didn't want to admit he was beaten by a woman it was DV relatednd
I agree with many. Dont hit anyone BUT when it comes to DV its very serious and there is more to the story than physical. If you are experiencing physical violence you are almost definitely experiencing other types aswell and you should seek help. If anyone is hitting anyone aswell you NEED to seek help.
Some victims are pushed and corned into giving their attacker a response. I dont agree with hitting and physical abuse but sometimes they leave you with no other choice. But I would only be thinking thats a last resort of self defence to get away from the incident occuring.
This probably is something you should discuss through counseling with a counsellor that specialises in this. Many dont!
Looking out for the redflags is great.
I would be using it as a warning sign that but I also wouldnt be ending it. I would be exploring if their is more redflags. Goodluck.xx staysafe
You threw him out because his opinion didn't match yours? Wow....
