Wouldnt think of laying a hand on my girlfriend,beside the fact that she has a scapel(sp) and tools to casterate cattle in the house I respect her way to much and have more self control when we fight then to get physical.
I often find violent people to have poor communication skills,I use to be one of them,now ive worked on being better at expressing myself through words and dont get physical when im frustrated,ive never hit a woman but many guys
