Every human relation involves communication. Verbal communication only occupies about 30% of that communication. Rest is nonverbal.

Sometimes, in some relations, some people tend to communicate via violence. That is a harsh, impolite, and weak way of communication.

Please keep in mind it is a way of communication and it implies that the person is not able to communicate otherwise.

You should of course protect yourself against him/her. I won’t tell about ways to protect yourself here, you can find many resoursec on the net on that topic.

I just would like to emphasize that people who demonstrate aggression and violence in a relationship do have real communication problems. Violence is a miscommunication.

However, you shouldn’t feel guilty about this miscommunication because you are not the cause of this aggression/violence.

You should decide for yourself. Nobody deserves violence.
