Can I still press charges against my violent ex partner for hitting me?

I will so upset if she actually won. Even if she is pregnant the fact that she was in your house arguing about the past and you tried to ignore her says how mental she is! I like your new girlfriend!

She sounds great but we see why the mental one is an ex! I honestly think you should be pressing charges against her! Unfortunately, she might win.

You should have called the cops on her before anything.

Because you hit the door and were not intending to hit your ex, you have a better chance than if you had actually hit her. They can't prove that you knew she was right behind the door, and I would give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you didn't. Her face would have had to be practically touching the door on the other side for you to be able to hit her through the door.

I would never expect that if I punched a door in a house, even if I hit it hard, that my fist would go right through it with enough force to injure someone on the other side. Maybe doors aren't made like they used to :) ... I had a friend once who was huge and very very strong, and he punched an old door in an old house, and made a hole on one side, but his fist was stopped by something that was in the middle of the door (it was not hollow). You need a very good attorney, and he can probably get the charges dismissed as an unfortunate accident that the door offered no resistance, and that you had no intention of hitting your ex, but were trying to let off some steam because she was upsetting you.

Also, the fact that she was violating her restraining order should help. The reason you got it in the first place is that she would not stop pestering you and being around you all of the time (and she should have been taken to jail for violating her restraining order too). Also, kudos to you that you were not pining for a girl who cheated on you, lied behind your back and to your face, and committed the ultimate act of hate toward someone she "loved", and were able to find a new girl very quickly afterward.

A lot of times, a guy who is cheated on or abused (yes, girls can be abusers too, and often times much worse because it is usually emotional and not physical) will spend all of his time pining over the girl who hurt him and think that it was his fault. When someone cheats on you like that, it means that they just don't care about you anymore, regardless of how much they beg you to take them back; they'll just cheat again once they get you back anyway. It seems like this new girl cares a lot about you.

In my opinion, you were actually exercising self-control, in hitting an inanimate object that should have absorbed the force of your fist. Some people punch a pillow to let off steam, some people punch a punching bag, other people punch a door, because they don't want to hurt another person, no matter how much they have hurt you. I hope this helps, and I do hope you win, because I don't think you were being violent, but people can have feelings, and this girl cheated on you, too.

I think a lot of guys would have punched her in the face when they caught her cheating on them with their friend, no less! You are way better off without her.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
