Without witnesses why do you think pepper spray will protect you from police charging you?
She'll just lie, play victim and say you started it.
I see. Depends on the situation. If it's a rando in public then just run. Better than any alternative. If you can't then whip out the phone to record, call out for others to help as witnesses and do what you can to de-escalate without knocking her godamn teeth out.
If it's private with someone you know, then bad luck. Record if you can, GTFO if you can and then end the situation with that bitch permanently asap.
I had a friend who was married to a violent abusive woman. I witnessed it twice, really brutal. He never fought back which only made her more angry and abusive.
Of course everyone advised him to divorce, which he did eventually when it got too much.
Leaving is the only real solution.
My heart goes out to your friend.
I'm not a tough guy but I don't understand how guys can put up with that shit on a regular basis.
Maybe it's because i don't have kids but for me as soon as you get physical that crosses the line.
I hate to sound like some braindead PUA but the idea of running from a woman doesn't sit right with me.
I also think that reinforces her bad behavior and makes her feel emboldened to do it to you/other men.
You're right. It's wrong on every level and it reinforces her bad behavior.
I also know that if I let myself get dragged into it and my anger flows, she's not getting up in a hurry and I'm going to prison.
It sucks, but there are no good options here. One day, she willl fuck with someone with low impulse control and a record, and that will be the end of that bitch.

Absolutely but I'm looking for the least shitty solution.
If you're dealing wit some amber heard type of hoe better to mace her than get your finger cut off or knock her out.
It's a no-win situation but IMO you have a better chance in court if she has no marks or bruises.
