Hi Tony73,



I'm sorry to hear that. That's a tough night, are things calmer today? It helps to talk.

Hello and welcome here!

That's indeed a crazy night. I've been in situations where I've been pushed farther than I've ever gone before too in this kind of crazy relationship.

The best thing you can do is make sure you get away from her, leaving the room or the house if you have to BEFORE things escalate that far. Do it when you start to feel attacked (verbally), not when you are attacked physically or fighting back.

Do you live with her, or do you have  separate house/apartment?

Hi Tony

it is difficult when you are caught out in the moment unprepared.
