Picture this... u're talking to ur mother over the phone and you dose off... your spouse notices and wakes you up so u can complete ur conversation with your mother cus its about something important. Now, just cus u've been woken up, u turn around and abuse ur spouse and raise ur hand in her direction. Is it justified??

Justified, no. I don't think any kind of abuse is okay. An understandable mistake, maybe. Some people are really brain-muddled when they first wake up and have about as much judgmental control as a people roaring drunk. If they were woken up and were extremely confused and acting violently, then I would call it an understandable mistake. But not justified. Apologies would still need to be made, and measures taken to ensure that it didn't happen again.

For me it isn't. But in the example you provide it shouldn't matter what I believe, but what the people in the relationship believe. How does the abused person feels? If s/he believes it is wrong, then it is. On the other hand, if the couple feels like it's justified, then it is. We establish our limits and what justifications are worthy.
