[quote=Anonymous]Man here - what he did was a sign that he has it in him to solve problems with violence.  My DH hit me in the beginning when she couldn't get her way.  She always said she'd never do it again. Well, it took me leaving for a while for it to really stick.  The point is - someone who has the propensity to use violence will do it over and over again until you draw a line in the sand. Even then, they may never learn.

People whose minds allow them to let anger manifest itself in that way are dangerous.  I yell, scream and curse when I've really had it. that's where my inner demon goes.  I never touch anyone when I'm mad.  Hitting or pushing someon - physically intimidating them in any way shows that this escalated far beyond his ability to control himself.  He displayed a "fight or flight" reaction to a situation where it was not called for.

He may apologize - the make up sex thing is a little weird - but he will be back to that point again and you have to wonder what he will do.  If you stay and are scared to hold your own in an argument because he may shove you again - you're not doing yourself any favors.

You have to get the kid out of the house and then have someone escort you over to explain to him that you're on a one month shoving break.  You'll be back and things can go back to normal, but if it ever happens again - one month is forever.  [/quote]
