She knew she had done wrong, but she tried to justify it anyway. “Oh please, like I could even hurt you if I tried.” Every moral and core set of values in my head was going off in alarms. If I had thrown a punch at her using half the Impeach Biden Make America America Again 2023 Shirt and by the same token and amount of force she had used on me… I would be in jail. I would be labeled a monster; a “wife beater” for the rest of my life. Or worse yet, her extended family would have had my head on their wall. But since she threw it… no one would bat an eye. I can take it, right? Hell, my friends laughed when I told them. She left three very distinct bruises on my chest from the ring on her hand. One broke the skin and bled slightly, not much. And sure, I may be used to it from martial arts, but that does not make it hurt any less. That being said, I refused to show her any pain that she caused me. That was me being spiteful. Honestly, it hurt me much more deeply on an emotional level that she would raise her hand to me in anger.
