That's a good point, Dana, about not labeling himself an abuser. You gave good advice about learning about his anger, and himself.
I understand anger, and I know in the passion of an argument stupid things can happen...but walking away until it can be dealt with better is a good option.
I don't really have an objective opinion, here, tbh. I'm still in PTSD of a sort, and a guy grabbing my tricep (that can hurt) or even yelling at me would be an instant deal breaker. I've been down that road. Those roads?
Everyone is different. I think him asking for advice is very telling.
