I agree with WC. When you allow a man to treat you this way, and get away with it, he will do it again and again. You have allowed him to push you around in the past, now it has escalated to hitting. Have him arrested, this will teach him that there are consequences when he puts his hands on you . Why would you want to remain in this situation? Someone that loves you, will not hit you! It's time for you to move on.
Before you talk about what you want ~ Be happy with what you have
Leave... Leave now..... Don't stop until you are someplace safe...... There is a place for him......jail!
No second chances....."but i love him b.s." either! He doesn't love you, if he did he would never strike you
stop reading posts....start packing bags.
Missy welcome to the Forum...
Are you close to your family? I appreciate that your confused, and I can tell that you are searching for the answer, but your heart is in the way, you've come on this Forum, so remind yourself why you wrote on here, what made you find us and whether you were looking for simular stories and how they dealt with it...
Your family if you are close need to know... Sometimes, a man feels once married he "owns you".. You state that he "owns" everything when he gets mad with you, that's why you walked, he "owned the car" and that's why he followed you, got mad and hit you because in his eyes, he "owns" you...
You say that he has pushed you before, and that you / he has given you / he another chance...
The chances have all been taken up, much like a cat with 9 lives... The 9th life is here...
It's easy to say leave, isn't it... Your friends would be saying that too.. But, you've got a good heart and you "think" your in love with him....Yes, I said "think"...
When a man thinks he "owns" a woman, she loses her identity because he strips her of it, although, you obviously, wanted to be held and him say sorry and so you walked in hope, but instead, it made him angrier because you walked away, left him, you can't do that, he "owns you"...
Go back to when you were a teenager, before you met him.. Were you in-secure a little? Didn't feel that you would find someone, wanted the picket fence, children, to belong, to be married? That is why you can't leave if you stated yes, through fear of having to go back there, and if your husband has taken away more self esteem then there is more fear.
What you dreamed off that picket fence isn't here is it... Not in this marriage.. Isn't that therefore enough to say what am I doing? I haven't found it and so I need to leave, and have all of that...
What you felt when he hit you was pain in your heart.. Because you want to so much believe in love... But, he doesn't treat you well does he, so why would you want to live that type of life?
You know abuse doesn't stop...
The first hit means another one will follow and that one will be 10 times worse, you may end up in hospital with him pleading that you don't tell, or threatening you not to tell....
If you don't leave now you will be too weak emotionally. He will bring you down more and more so that you are frightened of him, frightened to tell and you may not make it to the hospital...
I know you think it will break your heart to leave, but it will free your heart to find someone to love you... Does that make sense?
Go and speak to your parents and if your not close enough, an Aunt, someone, whom you trust and ask them to help you with this, to move and to be safe....
If you made a list of all the good things he does for you and all the bad things, what would they say?
If he is any sort of man and doesn't mean what he is doing, then he will seek help, anger management, and spend the next year or two in that, and work at getting you back...
If he doesn't care and is into drugs, alcohol, treats you bad, goes out with his mates all the time, puts you down, never buys you anything, it's not a marriage is it.
So what really do you have to lose?

Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
It doesn't happen over night
if truth were to be told.
Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
you must believe!
You have family and friends that love you.......right? And you know they'd be absolutely devastated if something awful happened to you. If you don't love yourself enough to get out....then do it for them. Because if you stay with this man, he will eventually do something awful to you. A year ago I sentenced a man to life in prison without the possibility of parole for brutally murdering his girlfriend. During the trial, I heard voicemails and saw texts from this woman to people in her life that cared for her that were worried.....she said things like "oh he just has a really bad temper....he'd never really do anything to really hurt me". That's what she thought. Until he ambushed her and beat her mercilessly for 2-3 hours.....until she died. I will spare you the details. And I don't tell you this to seem harsh.... I know it's harsh...it's the cold hard truth. You need to know that this man does not love you. Love doesn't hurt. And you need to know you're better than that. PUSHING you is abuse. HITTING you is abuse. Calling you names, degrading you, belittling you is abuse. You are being abused......and you need to get out while you still can. Do it for you and do it for the people in your life that really do love you.
Get out. Tell the police what he did to you. File a restraining order. Find a local dv shelter to stay for a little while (he'll know to check at your friends and families homes). DV Shelters are totally protected, he cannot get to you there and cannot find out you're there. You will find a multitude of people there who will help you plan out your next steps. It is time for you to get out of this marriage and most importantly, away from this man.
"Be what you're looking for."
"The next time you're thinking of kicking someone when they're down, offer them your hand and help them back up instead."
Have his butt thrown in jail immediately! As WC stated "you have witnesses" - use them and get him put away.
Just a thought here - what if you don't? You really don't want to see him hurt... so instead you just decide to get out of the abusive relationship (and I sincerely hope you realize that you need to do this - like yesterday), and his next conquest instead of being hit - is killed. How would you feel about that? Knowing you could have done something about it but chose not to?
I'm sorry for being brash here, but you are the only one who can do something about this - if you choose to ignore it, then you are setting yourself up for more pain and much misery. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't allow this SOB to get away with this - it's not too late.
To caveat what I have said above (and Lord knows I'd like to say a lot more), I don't care what you said or did - HE HAS NO RIGHT to do this to you! period!
Let him spend some time in prison thinking about what he has done while he gets the stink beat out of him!
Oh sure, there is a cure for this alright - A lead injection - right between his danged eyes.

If he has pushed you around in the past and it has now graduated to the point that he hit you, it's time you made a stand, the next time he will all out beat you, trust me i know these things, it's a pattern this kind of man develops..
i've been there, (ok he pushed me, it won't happen again, he loves me, ok he smacked me, it won't happen again he loves me, ok he grabbed me around the throat, it won't happen again, he loves) we tell ourselves these things thinking it will be alright, it won't be alright, please, please leave him, don't be another victim, there are far to many of as it is, run !!!!
You know Julia, this is one of the reasons I get so ed Ps'd off when I see these abuse things... When dirtbags like this do the garbage that they do, they inevitably place a nametag on ME; because there is never any shortage of people willing to generalize everone into one basket... Yea, that pss's me off something fierce. However, Reading this type of post infuriates me to no end - trust me I hate the gabrage that does this stuff more than you do; but please don't generalize - rate ME on what I do and not what others do. We are NOT all alike. I have never lifted a finger toward a woman and never would, nor do I even raise my voice at her... I see that this type of post does the same with you - understandably so.
The biggest issue here however is not that it causes generalizations... its that these SOBs are out there, and they continue to do this while being unchalleged without being taken off the streets.
God help any one of them if I were to ever get my hands on them - they are not MEN - they are cowards.
