It is okay to be scared and sometimes even wise to not fight back. But it doesn't mean that you shouldn't seek chances to escape the situation. Don't fight actively but plan to get free. You deserve a better life than this. And you can do this. We are here for you. Be brave. Be safe.

Yes. Sometimes walking away from a situation is the best thing to do. Walking away doesn't mean weakness, it sometimes mean that you are smarter and would like to defuse the conflict as quickly as possible :)

It's always a good idea not to react in an angry way or lash out. I would suggest waiting the negative feelings out and asking the person to continue the discussion when you are both calm, perhaps 10 minutes later or at a time that is convenient. It's important to state our opinions and boundaries but not in a violent way.

Its best to discuss this sort of situation with someone you trust. Its ok to be scared. Take your time to work out the best solution for you. However,if you are in physical danger it is best to discuss the situation with the relevant authorities.

I agree it is okay not to, situations could lead to a more dangerous outcome if you were to fight back.

It's justified & real mature not to fight back, what I think is one should be the last one to fight & first person to make up for fight. If you think you're not wrong & don't want to continue that's alright too, walk away from all those who don't appreciate your worth. :)
