Sometimes taking a break is good for a relationship. Spouses have argument sometimes but not like the episode she described here or issues in her other posts.
Just like in western culture people are too quick to get divorced, in our culture people stay too long in an abusive relation . There should be a balance and if it comes to hitting one another the best thing is to take a break. She needs to work on herself and her issues and he needs to work on his. Only after that they will be ready to work on their relationship.
