My husband and I have been together for 9 years and we argue as most couples do. We have been throwing around the idea of a divorce for a couple months now, but not acting on it. During a very heated argument, I got right in his face and he grabbed me around the throat and choked me hard enough that I couldn't breathe.
This is the first time he's gotten physical with me but I called the police and had him removed immediately. I have court tomorrow for an order of protection despite that, we have talked a few times. I don't fear that he's gonna kill me or anything, at least not unprovoked. I know that I don't want him living here for now and he has no place to stay. I also have no one to watch the kids while I'm at work. Since he's been gone, we've both realized that we want it to work out and we want counseling.
Am I just being an abused woman? I'm looking for outside advice from people who don't know me because, of course, my friends and family think I should leave him.
Please help
