That would be another possible interpretation of the phrase, but I think it is the less plausible one due to other contextual cues in the above text. In fact, the following quote appears on p. 128 of the same thread, posted by the same account:

>with me, Rich did not get physical.

Which, in my view, definitively settles the issue in the favor of my previous comments. The imputed "suggestion" was, in fact, the case. I also don't see why a bad-faith "flag" could be an appropriate response to the content of that post, which merely makes a reasonable point.

Did you read more than the 1st sentence?

"There was one instance where he rushed me and I put my arms out to stop him, another where he pinned me down on the bed, but from what I can recall right now the rest was emotional, financial, verbal and lots of intimidation like punching holes in the wall, throwing and breaking things, screaming in my face."

Rushing, pinning, punching, and throwing are physical and violent. And I don't know how you ruled out threats.

So you don't think psychological abuse is domestic violence?

Do not have kids, please.

It doesn't follow that making a distinction between the two concepts entails approval of instances of either one.

Psychological abuse is plainly a subset of domestic violence.
