No she hasn't apologised for choking me. All she said was that she was sorry for the tussle (which I presume she means is the pre-physical violence?)
She hasn't acknowledged that she was in the wrong to start the whole cycle of violence, nor has she apologised, she hasn't cried like I did and she just shifts the blame onto me.
Thanks, well I don't believe in hitting women but I had to on this occasion because my life was in danger. I've never hit a woman ever before and I did kind of feel bad for clouting her for which I did apologise but she said she can't forgive or trust me for punching her - what does trust have to do with anything?!

I am happy to take some counselling & it will be beneficial to us and haven't taken all the blame, it's just that she doesn't accept that she is at fault whatsoever.
Do you think people like her ever change in terms of violence and is it a case of once they do it, they'll always do it?
