I've been reading a lot of psychology books lately as I am considering going back to University to study it. In my recent relationship a lot of arguments got out of control resulting in my partner...

Threatening to beat me

Grabbing my throat

Breaking posessions

And punching walls/doors etc.

Now I am not the sort of woman who would ever accept this sort of behaviour as normal and I sought counselling for my partner and his problems - rather than judge him I wanted to help.

However the relationship has now ended as he refuses to sort out his issues. I was wondering if any men or women here have had similar problems...what do you think were the contributing factors to these situations?

My partner had a drug habit and was severely beaten and bullied as a child. I must say I am NOT EXCUSING THE BEHAVIOUR, I am trying to understand it...any opinions?
