Normal reaction when arguing?

[Anonymous]

How normal do you think it is if you raise your voice during arguing to say that sometime next time to not be surprised if he smacks you? We've been together for almost 3 years, never happened bofore, but last time (few weeks ago) it got a little heated for a minute or two and and i raised my voice (not yelling tho, i would say it's a difference), and now that we were talking over texts it was said that i should not be surprised if he smacked me one time that happenens again. What do you think, because to me thats not normal?

Threatening abuse isn’t normal behavior, it’s more toxic behavior over anything else , but overall most people say stupid shit , when they are angry and upset over things. So when your partner said he will smack you , he was totally out of line, but only something that you can decide on what you want to do about it?

Hey there! Raising your voice occasionally is natural during arguments, but threatening violence is a massive red flag. 🚩 It's a non-negotiable boundary that should never be crossed in any healthy relationship. Whether it's through words or actions, such behavior is unacceptable, and no one should feel unsafe with their partner. Prioritize your safety and consider discussing these warning signs with a trusted friend or professional. Remember, love should never hurt, physically or emotionally. 💪💕

Not at all normal threatening abuse.
