This is a
very serious issue and if care is not taken it can cause a marriage to
collapse. I can’t imagine that, God forbid bad thing. See what some people have
to say when we asked them, what they are going to do if their partner
slaps their mother.
I would have slapped him back before deciding what to do
Jumbo Edith
I wouldn’t know what to do at that moment but I would have slapped him back before anything else. It’s awkward for him to do that. It means he disrespects me and my family. So, he
deserves same and I will give it to him. After that, we can all settle it, and he would definitely have to apologise to my mum and the entire family. We can settle ours later, and I will only apologise to him if he has done same to my family, because he disrespected me first. If he doesn’t apologise, the marriage will never be the same and such nonsense won’t happen again because I won’t give him such room. However, he would need to deal with his anger.
I’ll give her a dirtier slap
Dare Babalola
Before I will be able to ask her a question, she must have received at least an equal measure of what she gave my mother. After giving her a hotter slap, I will ask her why she did it, because that is a very sad thing to even imagine. I need to be sure she knows the implication of what she did. If she doesn’t seem apologetic or she says something untoward, I’ll give her another slap. Do you know what it means for my wife to slap my mother? If she begs, I will tell her to kneel down and beg my mother. After that, I will tell her to leave us so I can appeal to my mother. I hope it doesn’t happen because it’s something that may linger in my mind for long.
I will retaliate
Mariam Sharafadeen
If he tries it there will be trouble. I don’t even need his apology, unless my mother accepts it. If he has a mother, I will retaliate, I won’t slap her in return but I will talk to her in a way that she won’t forget. Even if he becomes sober after doing it, it doesn’t change anything, because it is an act of disrespect to myself and my mother. I don’t think anything should warrant that. Even if he apologises, that won’t erase the issue from my mind because it’s a serious issue, and the love between us can’t be as cordial as before. I wish it doesn’t happen anyway.
I’ll slap her many times before anything else
Emeke Ibekwe
That’s a very tough question. It’s the height of disrespect for my wife to slap my mother, regardless of the circumstance that led to it. It’s worse that she did it in my presence. I know I won’t be able to control my anger at that time, so I’ll have to beat her. In fact, I will give her slap, slap, slap, (that’s thrice). If I’m not there, I can punish her in some other ways but that she could do that in my presence is gross indiscipline. She would have to apologise to my mother. I can’t even imagine it because it’s a very bad thing. It’s best if she doesn’t try it.
It’s wrong so I’ll hit him back
Emmanuel Gloria
I will feel very bad and I will be very angry. He does not have any right to do that regardless of what happened or what my mum would have done to him. He shouldn’t even have the gut. Sometimes, anger could make us do things that we may not have done ordinarily, so I don’t know what might happen thereafter. It’s a very bad thing and I might be tempted to slap him, and I think I will. In fact, for hitting my mum, I will hit him back, to express my grievance. It’s disrespectful. But if he apologises immediately after, I won’t do anything but he has to promise me that it won’t happen again. If it does happen again, we will go on a break for some time.
I may send her packing if it happens again
Marcel Ogbunda
Such an occurrence will be very painful but I’ll try to calm down before I take any step. Two wrongs don’t make a right, so I would have to handle it with care. I’ll beg my mum and make my wife realise how bad what she did was. But it’s better if it doesn’t happen again. If it does, she may have to leave my house and go back to her parents. It could even lead to a divorce because repeating such a thing means she cannot control herself and I don’t think I will be able to live with that kind of woman.
I will revenge with something worse
Fatimah Yahya
If he begs my mother and she accepts, then we can let the sleeping dog lie but I won’t forget. I can forgive him but it may linger in my mind for a long time to come, and I think our children would hear about it. If he does that, I will also do a bad thing to his mother, and maybe something worse, but I won’t slap her. And if she is present when the incident happened, her response will determine what she will get. If she behaves well, I will leave her, but if she doesn’t, she might earn herself same measure of what her son did. We have to address it because if I don’t stop him, it will happen again, and maybe he would want to beat her then.
My siblings and I will give her ten slaps each
Abayomi Gbolahan
Anybody who does what no one has done before will likely see what no one has ever seen, so, I will start by giving her some interesting slaps as punishment for slapping my mum. Do you know what it means for my wife to slap my mother? In fact, all my siblings will have input. For her to slap my mum means she doesn’t have regard for me and my mum, so I will disregard her too. We will call a family meeting as if we want to settle the matter and all my siblings will slap her ten times each. Her own family will be there as well to see the implication of what their daughter has done. After that, we will settle it.
I’ll appeal to the two of them
Aduloju Wuraola
I will feel bad but I will appeal to the two of them because they are both important to me and I wouldn’t want to offend any of them. I wouldn’t want to make any trouble because I love them. I’ll beg my mum and talk to my husband. I expect that he would apologise to her. Even though it’s something taken too far, but two wrongs don’t make a right, so we have to resolve it amicably. If it happens again, only God can save the situation because I will be very angry. My husband should have some respect for my family members, and anything short of that may be distasteful.
I’ll beat her to teach her a lesson
Toye Olalekan
That is an embarrassment and a disregard for me and my mum, and it will be very annoying. So, I will beat her very well, such that she will realise the enormity of what she has done and for it not to happen again. Beating her won’t undo it, but she has to pay for her action. Even if she begs, it won’t change anything, so she can reserve the begging till we are done with our plans because I also know that if my siblings hear about it they will be angry, and she can be assured of another round of beating. After that, we can settle it and we will all apologise to my mum. I hope and pray it doesn’t happen.
What are you going to do ?
i will over slap her and send her for counselling
