Why did you decide not to call the police when she was hitting you? You said your L had some strategy for if the domestic violence resumed. Are you waiting for her to escalate to a certain point?
Great question, and one I'm asking myself. I forgot to start recording before I came into the room for the conversation, which was probably the biggest mistake. It then escalated very quickly. However, I calmed myself down and started to talk which calmed her down. While there was no doubt physical abuse, it was less than other times. It didn't result in any visible injuries, as many others have. So my three second reasoning is with no recording and no injury, it would be he-said vs. she-said.
