Well now, I reckon this ain’t something folks like to talk about, but here it goes. If your wife’s hittin’ you, first thing you gotta know is, it’s not something she’s doin’ on purpose. No, sir. It’s not like she just woke up one day and thought, “I’m gonna smack him upside the head today.” Nah, that ain’t how it works. There’s a whole mess of reasons behind it, and sometimes they ain’t all that easy to figure out.
First thing you need to do is listen. And I mean really listen, not just nod your head and think about somethin’ else. Listen to her, hear what she’s sayin’—even if she’s yellin’ and screamin’. She might be mad, frustrated, or feelin’ like she’s stuck in a situation she can’t get out of. If you can find the feelings behind the words, you’ll understand a bit more. It ain’t always about what’s comin’ out of her mouth, but what’s weighin’ on her heart.
Hormones and health, they can mess with people. If she’s got them mood swings, it might be more than just somethin’ in her head. Hormonal changes, or maybe somethin’ like depression or anxiety, can make a woman real testy. Pain, too, can do it. If she’s hurtin’ physically, well, that can make her lash out. Ain’t no excuse for hittin’, but if you understand why she might be doin’ it, it’ll help you deal with things better.
If she’s goin’ through all this, you might wanna think about helpin’ her feel better in simple ways. Now, don’t be shy about offerin’ her somethin’ to take the edge off. I’m talkin’ juices, soups, chocolates, and maybe a little ice cream. You wouldn’t believe how much a good bowl of ice cream can smooth things over! You’ve heard of comfort food, right? Well, it works wonders, especially when emotions are runnin’ high.
Another thing, sometimes stress just gets the best of us. If she’s worried about money, or maybe the bills aren’t gettin’ paid like they should, that can make anybody snap. The pressure of life just builds up and explodes, sometimes in ways we don’t even understand ourselves. Now, I ain’t sayin’ that it’s right for her to take it out on you, but it helps if you can show some patience. Work together to ease some of that stress.
And here’s somethin’ else to think about: Sometimes a person’s behavior comes from deep down. Maybe low self-esteem or past issues that they never got over. It could even be impulsivity, you know, that quick reaction without thinkin’ things through. Sometimes, a person just don’t know how to deal with their anger, and it comes out in hurtful ways.
But you can’t ignore it either. If she’s hittin’ you, you gotta take care of yourself. I don’t care if you love her or not, no one deserves to be hit. If things are gettin’ real bad, and you feel unsafe, don’t wait too long to get some help. There’s people you can talk to, folks that can help you work through this. You don’t gotta go through it alone.
And remember this: love isn’t supposed to hurt. If she’s hittin’ you, there’s somethin’ wrong, and it might not be as simple as what’s right in front of you. It might take time to figure it out, but if you stay calm, listen, and talk things through, maybe—just maybe—things can get better. But you gotta be patient, both with her and with yourself.
Sometimes, the hardest thing is to keep tryin’, especially when you feel like you’re on the edge. But hang on. Talk to her, find out what’s really goin’ on inside her. It ain’t always what it seems. And if things are real bad, don’t hesitate to reach out for help. There’s always a way to make things better, even if it takes a little time.
Take care of yourself, alright? You deserve that much.
