Today, my boyfriend and I got into a heated argument. He raised his hand like he was going to hit me. Having been hit by my ex before, I panicked and instinctively kicked his legs out from under him. He then dumped me because he said he was just gonna scare me, but I used real violence on him. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my girlfriend and I got into a huge fight. She kicked me out of the apartment and told me to never come back. Devastated, I waited outside of the apartment door for hours, hoping she'd reconsider. I ended up falling asleep. I woke up to her foot stomping on me, screaming, "I meant it!" FML
Today, my boyfriend has never gotten along with my dad, but this afternoon during what I thought was a completely normal conversation, he just stood up, yelled he couldn’t take my dad anymore, punched him in the nose, dumped me, and drove away. FML
Today, I got into a huge fight with my boyfriend. I called him and started yelling at him over the phone. He told me that if I wanted to end the relationship I should just hang up the phone right then. Before I could say I still love him and don't want to break up, my phone battery died. FML
Today, my boyfriend tried to be romantic by dipping me backwards and kissing me. He dropped me on my butt, then stepped on my hand while trying to help me up. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I got into a fight. We yelled for 20 minutes and then he put his hands on my neck. Once we'd calmed down, he explained he wanted to strangle me like Homer does Bart, but didn't follow through. This all started when I asked if he read a text I sent earlier in the day. FML
Today, I got into a huge fight with my boyfriend after driving 200 miles to see him. While arguing, I told him I never wanted to see him again and left after slamming the front door. I left my car keys in his kitchen. FML
Today, my husband ran at me, groaning like a zombie. I was so startled that I screamed, punched him, and started sobbing. Now he won't talk to me because this is 'the first step on the road of domestic violence'. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I got into a heated argument at a house party. To avoid a huge scene, I pulled her into another room, during which I managed to trip over my feet and faceplant the floor. She shouted, "Hah! That's what you get!" Now everyone thinks she beat the shit out of me. FML
Today, my boyfriend came to visit me. He told me he was cheating on me, and that he wanted to break up. I was so angry that as he left, I started screaming at him out of my second story apartment window. I picked up a huge potted plant and shoved it through the window at him. It missed my ex and hit my car. FML
Today, I beat my boyfriend in a video game. He promptly dumped me and told me to leave. FML

If he knew what you went through and still did this, he deserved it and more.

He should have not tried to scare you with violence on the first place though.

Even if he didn't know he still had no right to be psychologically abusive like that

Just the threat of violence is a crime. No way I"d say in a relationship with someone who tried that.

YDI. You deserve a shitty boyfriend, who would play mind tricks like ‘pretending to hit you’ during an argument, to take himself out of your life; because you deserve better.

What he did was unacceptable and deserved what you did to him. What he did was a form of abuse and you should be glad he's out of your life!

You do not need a boyfriend who tries to scare you, either. You’re better off without this loser.

Well done you! And good result too.

let him dump you. raising his hand even "trying to scare you" is unacceptable behavior and you deserve better. I'm proud of you for defending yourself!

‘Pretending’ to hit someone to intimidate them is disgusting. Him breaking up with you is a blessing in disguise.

He wanted to scare you? Move on.

Sounds like you dodged a bullet. Raising a hand to “scare you” is still abusive.
