reader, anonymous, writes (28 December 2007): Yes. End it. I've been there... it starts with little stuff. You may tell him, "okay, but never do that again." And if he is clever, he won't. He'll come up with slight variations. Hugs that are too tight. Holding on to wrists. Taking away your car keys.
But the basic problem is that he is someone who has a need to get physical when he is upset or angry. This is dangerous.
Be careful. He is likely to turn on the charm.
Also... don't be afraid with this sort of character to break off over the phone. Keep your physical distance.
