Once someone takes a hand to me in anger - it's over.
I mentioned before that I was in two relationships that turned physically violent. It is now an immediate deal-breaker for me. The first one I thought it was a one-off thing and he was so apologetic, but it wasn't just the one time and I ended up hospitalized before I got smart. I was only 19, so I was pretty naive.
Your life may be in danger. Up to you how far you wish to push it.
My next door neighbor (in an affluent neighborhood in Palm Beach) growing up was a girl a couple years older than me. A few years back her estranged husband showed up while she was out by her pool and he shot her.
Be careful.
