1. I've had to deal with this several time, with my ex. She'd start trying to hit me, and I'd either let her do it once, then block the rest, or just block them all. Of course, when she did hit me, I couldn't help but start laughing , which only pissed her off even more. Not that the hits didn't sting a bit, but just to try and keep my cool and not get overly angry. 2. I have to agree with Jjangthekid on that one, to a degree. If she's going downstairs with the blows, push her away or at least take away the weapon if she has one, then try talking to her, from the other side of the bed. That way you have a bit of a barrier. Of course, in the end, she'll probably get you back, one way or another.
