That is a good approach to take, I will give that a try & see how I get on.

I am not going to force her, it will have to come naturally from her & however long that takes, that's how long I'll wait.
I think she is probably in denial at the moment hence why she hasn't apologised to me or even acknowledged that she is in the wrong.

I will be careful, but I do believe this was a complete one-off from her this act of violence.
Can I ask what you mean when you say it doesn't matter if I'm right or wrong when the Police turn up? Who said anyone was getting them involved at this point?

It has certainly changed how I view her now & I would always be probably quite wary of her just incase she had a repeat outburst.
I'm just worried that because her nose was bloodied & she had more 'damage' to her than I did (although I did have bruises all round my neck for days afterwards which I did take date stamped photos of) that the Police will arrest me, even though I believe I'm more the victim?
