Is this acceptable/normal?

Hi

I hate posting this online but i dont want to talk to anyone in RL incase of what happens. Ive been living with my bf for 2 months, been with him for 10 months and im quite young (bad start i know). Last night we had an arguement and he ended up pushing me around abit, this has happened before. I pushed him back (know i shouldnt of) when he kept doing it to get him off of me as he shoved me against the door at one point. He was crying after and said he was sorry etc and he wouldnt do it again.
However today he phones me on his lunch and starts shouting down the phone at me about last night and is just in a general bad mood.
Im wondering if this is the start of something bad and worried incase this is going to build up into something more than shoving.
I know this isnt normal and he isnt usually like this, its only since we've lived together that ive seen he has abit of a temper from time to time. But when he is shoving me and i say to stop he keeps doing it which is why i pushed him off of me.
Dont know whether i should break up with him over this or if i should wait and see if it happens again.

Thanks.

Yes - leave him. And do it today.

Well done for telling you mum. What did she advise?

OP, remember that leaving your DP will also be good for HIM. It might be the only wake-up call he ever gets to sort himself out. If he can manage to change he may in future be able to forge a healthy relationship with somebody else. If you stay, he will never change and he will live in a cycle of aggression and guilt. So do it for him as well as for you.

Coming off anti-d tablets does not cause aggression btw.

It's in no way normal and it's not acceptable in any circumstance. You need to end this relationship, there are support agencies that can help you to understand that it isn't normal or acceptable and can support you in avoiding similar relationships in the future. Good luck.

VoiceOfRaisin is right about this.

What did your mum say?

Has your mum seen the thread?

This is domestic violence and he will get worse and your life with him will get worse. Leave him immediately and never go back.
