    1 - he did want be be with me, Since we are still together 8 years later, Striking him - wrong yes but he deserved it at the time
    2 - I don't have issues with rage, I have issues with my bf being an utter idiot at times
    3 - conceded
    4 - :rotfl:

    Anyway I'm not here to debate MY relationship, I'm trying to say that violence is NOT OK, BUT SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN and it doesn't make you a violent person overall and just because she hit him ONE time, DOES NOT mean that she is a threat to their daughter!

    1: ok then...
    2: sure thing
    3: good
    4: look up some case law

    Once is all it takes, I don't think 'only raped her once your honour' is a valid defence.

    What are you even talking about? What has rape got to do with anything? :eek:

    I doubt that someone pouring a glass of water over his or her partner is "malicious" either.

    As we aren't in a court of law, I didn't think there was any need to get legalistic over terms - common sense is generally a better option.

    I suspect it was.

    It doesn't sound like an accident.

    When discussing criminality, I find it useful to have the correct information

    You seem fixated on the 'one off' aspect, so I'm clarifying why once is once too many

    I'll try a different example, presumably your bf only got one woman pregnant, but you feel it justified to strike him.

    Rape is a different case altogether imo, It's like saying 'Ok, I only murdered one person and I won't do it again...'
    Now your being silly!

    That's the thing, it's not different at all.

    Rape 1 person once and you are a rapist
    Steal once and you are a thief
    And be violent once and you are violent.

    You think it's ok because it's only once, though in your case it's multiple times, but the law, and by proxy society, disagree

    True. But I think Andy would be a good judge of character as to whether she could be a threat to their daughter since he sees their interaction and they have been together for 6+ years...

    Still missing the point.

    If you remove her current outlet for her anger over the difficult birth that only leaves the child to blame.

    I'm sure 5,4,3,2,1 years ago he didn't think he would find himself in an abusive relationship, but he did.

    It might be the same in principle but they are very different cases =/

    Can you lost which crimes are 'serious' and which aren't.

    I'd put all custodial sentence crimes as serious personally

    I fear this marriage is over. Any plans for the future should be around this undeniable fact, and focus on the best interests of the poor child.

    A professional, or counsellor would appear to be required here.....
