To feel so hurt after a small push?

[RosieG98]

Looking for advice but not sure about posting details.

Can people please advise how they'd feel/react if partner pushed them during an argument, but the push wasn't hard/ didn't cause damage? This has never happened before and I'm quite upset, but wondering if I'm overreacting as it wasn't hard at all.

Leave. This is how it starts. If you do nothing, he'll take it as a green light and it will be worse next time.

Sorry you're having to deal with this, OP. I guess it would be easy to think 'Maybe it wasn't that bad - it was only a slight push', or even to start believing his lie that he just put his hands on your shoulders. But you know it was a lie. He's showing no remorse.

Whenever I read threads like this,I always think wouldn't it be great if every single woman just immediately and unceremoniously dumped every man as soon as he showed the very first hint of violence, abuse or controlling behaviour. So that the whole world, including men, just knew that it would nevee be tolerated and that they'd never ever have a girlfriend or wife if that's the way they behaved. The only amount of abuse acceptable in a relationship is none.
