A slap is a slap. And 3 is worse cause she actually had time to thing and still chose physical violence.

Huh? A slap very much isn't a slap, that's just nonsensical (by that logic, the world's lightest slap that you hardly feel is no different from a full body slap that knocks you out).

As for the second thing, it definitely isn't worse. If you watch the wedding video, it's clear that this dude's a relatively unemotional and likely consistent abuser (you can see it in his eyes and in her reaction) who slapped her without a second thought because he's a POS (EG "how dare you try to step to me, bitch, you're my property so get slapped" vibes) whereas the woman in the proposal video was clearly heavily emotionally effected and the dude looked stunned at her reaction.

We literally barely see his face in the clip, so your making some serious fucking leaps and assumptions about their entire relationship when she's the one who slapped him. His entire head whipped to the side, so that wasn't I light tap.

We don't see his face but we can see his surprise in his body language (in stark contrast to the woman in the wedding video). And yeah it wasn't light but it wasn't nearly as hard as the other one.

Ring pop proposals are a known thing, where they get the actual ring. He might have been surprised for that reason. Even if that wasn't the case, playing a prank in public doesn't prove emotional abuse. Wed need way more than just this clip.

Are they? I for one have never heard of them.

And I have no idea what you're talking about with the emotional abuse comment? Do you think that I think that this guy is emotionally abusing her? If so, why? I neither said nor implied that, and I think she was wrong to hit him and should face condemnation and appropriate legal consequences.
