I'm thinking about my girlfriend assaulting me last night.
How did you feel at the time of the assault?
I felt very bad about it, I thought I was going to die
Romantic partners are expected not to physically harm one another. If you're with someone who does harm you then you might want to seek help or leave the relationship before things get worse.
I'm feeling better about it now.
You might feel better now but it could happen again in the future. You are best just getting out of that relationship.
