I hit my boyfriend of 15 months last friday. I punched him in the face. I just got to that breaking point. He stayed with me. He tells me he loves me just as much as his did. And I believe him. Any suggestions on what to do to make it up to him?

Welcome to the board clgibson21,


If you were a woman posting that her bf had punched her, we would all be telling you to leave him because if he did it once he will do it again.


Obviously physically harming your bf or anyone else is not the right thing to do. I agree with the previous poster that you need to look into anger managment. If you get the the "breaking point" again, you need to remove yourself from the situation and address it again when you have calmed down.


You need to figure out why you resorted to physical violence isn't of something more peaceful.


What were you fighting over? Do you fight often?

I must say coming from a family where they was physical violence that it is one of the worst things a child can witness growing up. I think it is important that you sit down with the children and explain that why you did was wrong. Also please look into the anger management.

There's absolutely no excuse to come to physical violence, especially in front of a child. If he were smart he would have taken his child and left. I can't believe he didn't.

I highly suggest anger management, you need to prove that you're serious about never doing this again.
