I think doing any actions once makes more probable that it will happen again. When physical (or emotional) abuse enters a relationship, a line has been crossed and a dangerous precedent has been established. I don't necessarily think it always means that the relationship has to end, but I think it does mean that both people have to be willing to recognize that it's occurring and to work on it...particularly with emotional abuse. With physical abuse, I think it just has to stop, and if the abused person wants to just walk away, I think that's a completely justifiable response. If it's perpetual, then the relationship needs to end. Otherwise, you're just enabling the abusive behavior.
