I told my husband I wanted to move to Alabama and he said that I could feel free to move there without him. I said that I want us to move there together. After another conversation to which he was dismissive about a subject I was excited about I told him again that I wanted to move to Alabama. He repeated that he would not go but that I could. I told him as I have before that marriage is about compromise and that it was my turn to have something that I want. He said he wasn’t having this conversation anymore and proceeded to walk about while I called out to him that it was my turn. He ignored me and plugged his ear so I said “screw you”. He immediately turned around and marched over to the couch where I was sitting, lifted up my leg and hit me. It hurt and continued to sting. He said he didn’t mean to hit me that hard. I was surprised that he hit me at all. I told him to go away and not to touch me. I started to ignore him. He kept speaking to me sternly and I refused to look at him. He punched the couch next to me and grabbed my phone and threatened to break it. I told him he would have to buy me a new one because he does not pay for my phone and it is not his. He handed it back to me and proceeded to stand in front of me while i attempted to watch my show and ignore him. When I refused to look at him or listen he grabbed my face with both hands and shook me. I kept ignoring him. He grabbed my wrist hard and took the remote and turned off the tv. It hurt. I cried out in pain and he said if I was going to be immature and treat him that we that he wanted to be with someone else. I said that if he touched me again that I would leave. I proceeded to ignore him and he continued to yell at me. He finally gave up and threw the remote at me and walked away. He said I better not show up to his basketball game that it was the only thing that made him happy. I turned on the tv and kept watching and pulled out my phone to write this.

Is this abuse or am I overreacting?
