Is it normal to have the urge to hit my boyfriend?

I 24f have a boyfriend 23m that I have the urge to hit. I don't act on it but it's starting to bother me with how much I think about it. Whenever he upsets me I try to remove myself mentally from the situation because I can feel the urge to want to put my hands on him. We have gotten physical with each other in the past (when we were in our teens) where either I or he initiated it. I've left him with scratches and he's left me with bruises and a black eye before. We decided together to never hit each other again. But I still feel the violent rage wanting to boil over whenever I'm upset with him. I hate this feeling. Does anyone have any insight?

    This just a homicide waiting to happen. Split up and never see each other again.

    You are just a sadistc dominatrix and you need to abuse him, if he loves you he will accept it

    It's generally much more accepted for a woman to hit a man because the man could easily fold her most of the time. If he's fine with hitting you then i advise you definitely don't hit him in case he loses control and decides to hit you back. Also, that's called being a violent person, especially if the person you want to hit is a significant other.

    Therapy for yourself or couples therapy can potentially help you figure out urges

    That's an abusive relationship and you need to leave it, but maybe you love drama and abuse. You both clearly have issues.
