If your partner attacks you once, are they likely to do it again?
Cupid’s Advice:
It’s important to get your partner the necessary help if they do ever attack you. Â A situation such as this should not be ignored, because it can always happen again. Â Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Counseling: Speaking with a professional therapist should be an option for both you and your partner. Â Therapy can help determine the source of the anger that led to the violent situation.
2. Communication: Instead of using your hands or objects to express your feelings, make it a priority to walk away if you feel the urge to get physical.
3. Other anger outlets: If anger is a problem for you or your partner, find other outlets to release stress such as going to the gym, running or something healthy that will calm you down.
