I am confused regarding conditional. I know, for example, if I say:
If he had not insulted me, I wouldn't have slapped him.
this means in reality, he insulted me and I slapped him, but if I am talking about this incident with my friend and my friend says:
You shouldn't have slapped him
and then I ask my friend:
If he had insulted you, what would you have done?
in this situation if my friend says:
If he had insulted me, I wouldn't have slapped him
I know this mean in reality he didn't insult my friend, and this is confusing part. When my friend says "I wouldn't have slapped him" in the above context, does this mean in reality my friend slapped him or not?
