Hey Sparta,

I have to agree with everyone...without therapy and support you're headed right down the same path no matter what the relationship is. I will say too that it is not your relationship that is your issue it is your anger, and if you walk away and get into another relationship it will just follow the same course as this one. Get help before you do anything else.

When you hit someone that is an attack, when they hit back it is usually defence, though it doesn't help the situation at all.

If it were me I would feel blessed to have a counsellor or other therapist....they are there to help not judge, and if they can't get you sorted in 13 sessions they usually will refer you on to someone with higher quals

Good luck
