    It was (hopefully) a one off event, and now that I'm aware of the background story, a little more forgiving. A notice to vacate triggered the involvement of some outside agencies, and they are now getting the help & support that they need.

    I see no need to go in to details, suffice to say I'm satisfied there will be no repeat of the incident.

    'Involvement of outside agencies' would be a red flag to some. Just be very careful

    there is no !!!8216;background!!!8217; that makes domestic violence forgiveable.

    Agreed. But now that I'm aware of the circumstances leading up to the incident, I'm not so judgmental to say "you threw the punch, it is all your fault".

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.
