I wouldn't say I deserved to get beat up...
I shouldn't have broken her phone but I still think she went way too far over a material item that can be fixed. I've never seen her explode like that. It was scary.
So that's your answer - do you want to live with a woman you are scared of?
You both sound completely toxic. You're an emotional terrorist and your girlfriend is physically abusive. If you weren't thinking about having kids, I'd advise you to stay together so that you wouldn't inflict yourselves on anyone else. But since you're thinking about dragging a child into this mess, break up and stay away from each other.
What about what she thinks? Maybe your 'feistiness' is not as endearing as you may think it is, and you finally pushed her to the breaking point. Maybe you need to learn to control yourself too.
To the OP: Get out of this relationship ASAP. This is definitely a domestic violence issue, and AFAIC it will just get worse. It's good you don't have any children who will be affected by the break-up. I do definitely see this escalating if you stay together.
I still want to move forward with adoption. I just need her to learn temper control. I'm not ready to throw away 5 years over 1 fight tbh.
You can't change other people, only yourself. I think your relationship is doomed due to the physical altercation. If I were you I would get out of such a toxic relationship.

Ha, OK. You said it yourself in the title of this post. Your girlfriend "hit you for the first time." This says you expect other times, and you knew things were leading up to this. Otherwise, you are spinning a story for us and strayed too far into the literal. Because no one experiencing unexpected abuse would phrase it that way.
The scenario, real or false, existed before the act.

Please wait on that. This does not mean you can't go forward with adoption in the future. I would just wait for now. Also, yes there is no need to be physical. That also means breaking another person's property.
