Hi ~ I'm not sure where this relationship is going to be honest. I know you say most of the time things are "great." But if you fight alot, how can things be great?

When kids are brought up in households like this, it teaches them that striking another human being is ok. And if you have sons, it is going to teach them that hitting a WOMAN is perfectly fine. Hitting ANYONE is WRONG -- no one has the right to put their hands on anyone else. And yet you two are doing it. Plus the language you're using isn't great either. When they get caught swearing in school, guess where they're going to say they learned it?

Someone is going to end up getting hurt in these fights -- or else arrested or both. You two have got to STOP this.

You need couples counseling BADLY and soon! Otherwise, this relationship SHOULD end for the sake of these kids. They shouldn't be brought up in an environment like this. At least think of the kids even if you don't want to think of yourselves, and get counseling!

I wish you the very best of luck -- and I really do hope you two make it. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
