But you're basically saying that if my wife starts punching me in the mouth every day, then I should stay with her just because I made a long term commitment.

No, I'm saying that if a masked person breaks into your house and punches you in the face and runs away, and it could be any of a couple dozen people only one of whom is your wife, divorcing her probably isn't the first step.
