Abusive or Not ??

Question

How do you know you’re in an abusive relationship verses regular arguments and anger.

Answer

When my wife threw punches, I knew it was time to go.

Answer

This is always what I wonder. I never know what a healthy argument looks like? My boyfriend gets mad and calls me stupid, bitch, etc. yet I don’t call him anything. He can disagree without yelling and screaming at Me. I typically don’t raise My voice. Idk if he’s abusive or not....
