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?
