I was taught to never ever hit a woman under any circumstance and held that belief close. My ex wife took full advantage of that once clawing my face so bad I had to take a weeks vacation from work. Still I never hit her. The last straw was when she put a dirty mop in my face as I had just gotten home from work and just started on an Arby's roast beef sandwich. After three years of this garbage I had had enough and responded with a roast beef fast ball right in her face cheese sauce included. My living room looked like a crime scene. I left with a smile and never blinked. My only regret is not punching her out the first time she wanted to man up.
Always treat a lady like a lady and when they want to act like a man and physically assault you...Don't take it.
You were abused. I understand why you finally acted out, although now that I've reread it I DO find the flying sandwich amusing. Glad you made it through.
As to abusers in general...
Always get away from an abuser. Don't wait. Don't even bother sticking around to fight except if forced to on the way out the door (they want you to fight because that justifies them hitting you in their sick brains) - abusers find ways to mess with you even if they stop hitting. Get them out of your life because they will do more psychological damage to you than damn near anything else and while those claw marks heal the psychological wounds stay.
Man or woman - the advice is the same. Get people like that out of your life as fast as possible. The only way to win against them is to leave and lead a happy life without them. That's their mindset and what hurts them - losing control over those they abuse and walking out the door is the complete loss of what they're attempting to control. And if possible, never give them the pleasure of knowing you were even tempted to look back.
