How much fighting is too much fighting in a relatinship?

If there is already a physical abuse. A verbal abuse can be tolerated because it is normal in every fight but if one becomes physical and the battered one is always in black in blue, then the relationship must be end. It doesn't show any respect with each other and therefore I cannot say that there is still love if they are now at the end of the rope.

Personally if I argued with my other half all the time I would not consider it a good enviroment for the my son to grow up in or anybody to live in.Violence or verbal abuse is different, get out of it quick is what my advise would be.The odd row is good for the relationship to clear the air,sometimes it is possible to talk things through in an adult manner,out of ear shot of the kids.It depends on what you are fighting about I suppose.It can be what someone outside the relationship says something inlaws for instance or someone else who cannot seem to keep their nose out of your relationship,interferance we found was the worst thing when we first got together,but you learn to not listen or tell them to but out,like I did.
