I think since Friday the key divide in this country is no longer Leave/Remain or North/South but between - People who think a late night screaming row between a couple is domestic abuse, and - People who’ve been married.

I've been married 25 years, and our rows never involved words like 'get off me' or 'get out'. My daughter had a friend who was murdered by her boyfriend. So, I'm not being holy, I'm scared by your attempts to suggest that screaming and smashing are normal.
-
Well, good for you. You two must be saints. There is no evidence that anyone was abused or at risk. If they were, we would all know it by now. A shouting match - even one with smashing plates - is not DV. Unless you think the state should police every couple’s rows now?
-
No, I think that if a woman's shouting 'get off me', and then not answering her door, then calling the police is normal. I've had rows where I felt so angry I didn't want to be with that person, so I left. Not always possible.

I mean, presumably he could have ended the row there and then by getting out of her flat when she told him to. He chose to remain, ironically enough.
