Hello, questioner.
The thing you're describing does have a tendency towards violence. I think that when you feel aggression and violence suddenly well up inside you, you must be filled with hatred. If you don't do something to stop the other person from being physically or mentally punished, your mind may be so oppressed that you need to have the strength to break out in order to feel relief and calm down.
This intense hatred is very destructive. It's like a fight between children, where they have to use their fists to express their strength and aggression. Otherwise, they feel they have suffered a loss or been defeated.
I'm 30 and I have an older sister who is three years older than me. My parents love each other, and my dad is more deferential to my mum. I was expected to be a boy, and I grew up feeling neglected in sibling competition.
I can only imagine how unfair it must have felt for this child, who was neglected and whose parents were disappointed in their gender. It's difficult to comprehend why they treated you this way. You are a girl, and it is not your fault. You did not choose your gender. It's absurd for your parents to blame you for your gender.
On top of that, you weren't born because you wanted to be. Your parents wanted you to be born. Parents have to accept that you're a girl.
Your husband is an only child, and his parents love each other and doted on him growing up.
Your husband is very tolerant and kind to you, and I think you are also touched and grateful for his reaction. However, if you keep on being violent, he may not be able to take it anymore. So, it's important to work on improving your violent tendencies, softening aggression, and transforming it into the power of love and acceptance. If your in-laws find out that your husband is violent, I wonder what their reaction will be.
What can we do to improve this?

First, figure out what's going on between you and your husband and what might set you two off. I'm guessing it's something your husband said or did that upset you.
No matter what he said or did, if it made you angry, it must have hurt you. You can think about it in terms of not being respected, appreciated, or recognized, looking down on him, him doing something wrong, saying the wrong thing, belittling you, ignoring you, denying you, attacking you, criticizing and blaming you, etc.
I don't know the specifics of your situation, so I've listed as many possibilities as I can think of for your reference.
Second, once you've sorted out these contradictions and conflicts, you'll understand what your husband has hurt you with and thus the source of your emotions. Then, after feeling angry, you started to fight back, using both words and actions, so as to appear powerful.
Otherwise, if you don't speak up or take action, you might feel weak, inferior, powerless, and helpless. In other words, your verbal and physical responses are a way to protect yourself and defend yourself against the feeling that you are weak and powerless.
It's clear that you have the strength to stand up for yourself in your relationship.
Your words and actions already show this.
I'm not sure how you handled things in your original family relationships. For instance, if your parents were disappointed or neglected you, did you fight back? If so, it seems like violence was your go-to for self-protection.
There's no other way for you to protect yourself.
Take a moment to think about how you respond and deal with being hurt when you encounter injustice in other relationships.
It's important to figure out if this violent response is a regular way of coping or if it's just something that happens in the couple's relationship.
If this is just a thing in your marriage, it can get pretty complicated. You might want to take a look at some personality traits in your husband and how he might be triggering your violent tendencies.
If it's a pattern that keeps popping up in your relationships, it's time to take a good look at yourself.
Third, if you're in a violent relationship, it's also important to think about how your emotions change over time. Do you feel certain emotions all of a sudden, or
As time goes on, it will slowly increase. In this process, what impact does your husband's reaction have on your emotions?
For instance, some people get more upset when the other person doesn't respond. Others get more upset when the other person blames them.
Before things get physical or verbal, your emotions will have reached boiling point. You'll need to break out of your shell.
Fourth, in a husband-and-wife relationship, it's important to understand and accept each other, communicate well, and avoid conflict.
In the little things of life, there's no need to measure right and wrong with a ruler. It's better to be accommodating and accept the differences between people.
Be more tolerant of yourself. Inevitably, there will be times when things don't go your way. If that happens, just let it go and don't stress about it. There has to be a standard.
Of course, the relationship between husband and wife is a two-way street. It's not enough for just one person to work hard; both parties need to reach a consensus and work together to understand and accept each other.
Fifth, once you've figured out how emotions are generated and developed, and how husbands and wives interact, you'll naturally come up with ways to make adjustments.
If you can't figure it out on your own and you're not sure what these patterns mean, you can always seek counseling to help you deal with them.
