First off, you were in a fistfight with a woman? No, that's just not what men do. NEVER raise your hand to a woman, under any circumstance. There are a lot of guys out there that would knock you on your *** if they saw you hit a woman, including myself.

Now, onto the advice. I understand the tit for tat type of fighting. The smallest fight can develop into a huge thing when it really could've been nipped in the bud. A great piece of advice my mother gave me when I was young was "Pick your fights". If you're fighting over every stupid little thing, your words and the act of fighting lose meaning. In a relationship this is extra important, because if you're fighting all the time over small stupid things, when something significant comes along that you deeply care about your arguements will just degenerate into the same small petty things they always have been, and you won't fix real issues because you're too busy fighting about the small insignificant stuff.

You're young, your love life is not over. I know it hurts now, but you will get over it. Don't waste this opportunity to learn from life though. You lead a terrible relationship that missed all of the true meanings of love. Love isn't about winning or losing a fight, love isn't about "getting laid". Love isn't about abusing, mentally or physically, the other person into submission. It's about respect, adoration, and compromise. It's about feeling safe with your significant other and giving them the feeling of safety as well. You made some mistakes and you regret them, that is a good sign. LEARN FROM IT! Never make the same mistake again. If you treat a woman with respect and honor your relationship will flourish. If you try to demand her love through aggression and fighting, you'll be a lonely person for a long time.

I'm glad you came to the website since it shows you do want to change. Take the advice if you can, nobody knows everything, but the people here are very caring and will give it to you straight. Good luck and if you need to talk about anything you can feel free to PM me.
