He grabbed you by the neck in a rage. You have to leave. Or there is a significant risk that he will kill you.

Yes, leave. Alcohol doesn't make a person violent - being violent makes a person violent. It doesn't matter if he was drunk or not. No excuse for that sort of thing.

Yes!

Yes apart from dv hes almost definitely a cheat too Flowers

Oh yes you should and you should possibly report it if you can.

Grabbing by the throat is a very big red flag, and the threat to headbutt you is very violent.

I am so sorry you have picked a wrong 'un but it is good you have found out before anything more damaging has happened.

Yes
