You deserve to be treated better than this!
Physical Violence- using ones’ physical strength or presence to control someone
Behind closed doors many individuals struggle with an abusive partner. The longer you live that way the harder it is to get out and someone will definitely get hurt. This environment contributes to more low self-esteem. Tell someone if you are living this way. Make sure you have a safety plan if you decide to leave. Try couple’s counseling.
