I'd say that's probably a bit outside the scope of what we are talking about.

Personally if my partner beat me to within an inch of my life I would be very impressed.

The point I am trying to make is that it's not always as easy to say 'well thats it mate, it's over' there is always a lot more to it than that.

Obviously in the scope of what you are talking about, I don't think anyone would find someone like that worth keeping around.

Let me ask you at the other end of the spectrum, if someone has been emotionally and verbally abusing their partner for hours and as things get heated a few blows are exchanged. If you both love each other and can both identify the cause of the tension and are both willing to work towards a solution, is it worth throwing away everything you have both worked towards for the last 20 years of your life?

As I said in an earlier post, a one off incident might be worth overlooking provided both parties are working towards a solution, there is no history and it doesn't happen again.
