I remember when I was about 18 years old and my girlfriend was sitting next to me in the car and her mother was next to the door (that was before seat belts were mandatory like they are now). Anyway, she and I were talking about something and disagreeing about it when she slapped me on the shoulder and said, "That's what I hate about you!" Shortly after that, we broke up because she was looking to meet a guy in a class she had at a different school than I attended. That was fine by me. However, when I found out that she never even introduced herself to him AND didn't even know his name, she wanted to get back together with me. I laughed at her, although we had remained friends up until 1984 when she moved with her family back to Oklahoma and my parents and I moved to Tacoma, Washington.
A few years ago, I had re-established contact with her parents and they were good friends of mine. Carla had a son years ago; the first marriage of hers, the guy used her as a battering ram, the second one was "you go to my church and only my church and your dad is wrong about the Bible..." (never mind the fact that her dad is one of the most godly men I knew). Her and husband #2, from the last I heard before her mom died, are divorced.
Now, the question: Would I date her now? Sure! Back then, after being hit, I don't think so.
Furthermore, a gentleman never hits a lady. A lady never hits a gentleman. If I was hit by my girlfriend, she would go to jail and I would press charges now. She is done and the buck stops here.
