3 reasons to hit closed fist-..............
shes trained to fight
she has a weapon
your losing........
There is a difference between a couple getting physical with each other and a man HITTING a woman. I hope we all can differentiate the two.
Remember there is always 2 sides to every story.......
Why did he feel the need to get physical?
Alcohol or drugs involved(either party)?
Why the cops? Who calls the cops on their own family/spouse?

If its that bad,its time to get out of dodge. Seriously.
All this IMO of course.
