I'm in a serious LTR. DP has good and bad points like everyone. The good is he's loyal, punctual, shows up for important things. Supportive, does chores without asking, complimentary, affectionate. Driven, hard working, helped me get out of debt and in ways had a positive effect on my life, I'm in a better position now than I was before I met him. His bad points are his short fuse and verbal abuse during arguments. For example, takes things the the wrong way, swears at me during arguments and threatens to leave. He loses his temper with outsiders too yet he's very well respected by his work and friends, they call him 'head strong' Am I over reacting? It's been a common issue in our relationship which is becoming tedious. He acknowledges his issues, says sorry but we're yet to find any solution or have any improvement. I am not perfect, I have been verbally abusive too, but not to his extent or as often as him.
