What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Minnesota
Three years ago I found out an ex-boyfriend of mine was cheating on me. When I found out I was so angry I slapped him across the face.
Even though we're not dating anymore we managed to work through that, and now we're the best of friends. However, this morning we got into a serious fight, he lost his temper and walloped me a bunch of times, leaving a really bad bruise on my arm.
I've thought about reporting the incident, and I still haven't decided if I'm going to or not (it really just doesn't seem worth the time and energy). However, he says I don't have a case because I slapped him a few years ago. In terms of assault, are the eyes of the law different when it comes to men and women?
