Named changed for obv reasons.
2 1/2 years ago me and dh had massive row ending up with him between me and dd as a 6 month old. I was furious and desperate to get to her so I dug my nails into his back, he turned around and hit me on the arm 3 times and pushed me into the door. I had bruises for days. I don’t remember what the argument was about but at the time he was very jealous that I got to spend so much more time with dd as I was on mat leave.
Today we got started on a simple discussion that escalated quickly. After he got to shouting at me I said could he just let me out of the car (he was driving). I must have asked him 10 times. I just wanted to get away from his screaming. I literally had my hands over my ears.
He wouldn’t let me out and hit me in his anger. With a fist on my arm.
I know it’s not acceptable to hit anyone but do I break my family up for this? I swore if he hit me again I’d go but is two punches in 3 years a deal breaker? Could it be called domestic violence or is that vastly overdramatic?
