rapunzel111, Is what MPT posts true? Your husband has been punching you?
If it is more than once, then do you have any other men in your life, brothers, father, friends? Do they know?
There is NO excuse for hurting someone that is basically defenseless. Anger - whatever, there is no excuse.
I did withness a guy punch his wife once, right after she hit him over the head with a pan :-) They were quite the pair. On more than one occasion, I saw BOTH of them with bruises. While humorous, they are not the norm. If a guy is hitting you, other than a one time knock down drag out over the top argument with lost tempers by both parties ( even then, he only gets to make that mistake once in his life) then you need to tell people that can help.
In my neck of the woods, when a woman tells about an abusive husband to friends, there is rarely a need to involve police. Her friends and relatives have a way to fix that problem. If you don't know someone who can really correct the situation, then contact the authorities ASAP regarding abuse.
You probably know all this, but I felt I had to give unsolicited advice in this case.... Sorry if I offended in any way.
