Does domestic violence often spring from you two arguing? You're just stupid, why pick up something like that to hit with over a stupid little argument? Should he beat you with assorted hardware whenever you disagree with him? I think the real issue is not that your neighbor was privy to your petty altercation. You can't just hit your spouse :/

I'd say this is an F-OP's-husband's life moment and a your-life-is-awesome moment for OP.

You couldn't just throw a lamp?

You should have thrown his Xbox at him..... IJS If you're going to be a hubby-beater then you may as well do it right.

But seriously, I wonder what pissed you off so bad you tried to hit him with a laptop. O_o...

In before double standards comments.

If you're using a weapon he can raise a fist to you. Just sayin'

U shouldn't be assaulting anyone

Lol! That's funny but still you shouldn't beat up your spouse no matter how much you fight.

The sad thing is, if the husband tried to defend himself from his wife, he would be accused of domestic violence, whereas if it was a woman defending herself from a husband, she would be seen as courageous. The comments that people have written here are evident of that.
