[quote=Anonymous][quote]Think of it this way. If your uncle came over for a visit, lost his temper because you teased him about collecting disability, and slapped your face in front of your kid would you allow him to come visit you the next day? Of course not. You might accept his apology in time but there is no way you would let him set foot in your house that soon.[/quote]

Yes, one reasonable response could be to take a break from each other, but another reasonable response could be to get counseling and work on the relationship while not taking a break from each other.  
When I was 8 months pregnant, my husband, who is otherwise a wonderful guy, teased me about my eating habits.  I was tired, cranky, not feeling well, and fed up, so I wound up throwing my bowel of cereal at him (and hitting him with it).  To this day, I can't explain why I did it, it was so completely out of character for me, and I know it was totally wrong.  But I apologized, and helped clean everything up, and we didn't separate or take a break at all.  We've been married for five years since then, have a great kid, and nothing even remotely like that has every happened again, and I feel sure it never will happen again.[/quote]
