Your comment however prompts me to ask whether or not alcohol was involved. You said she smashed a "glass" in your face. Granted, it could have been juice but I suspect it wasn't or mixed with something stronger perhaps?
Alcohol doesn't mitigate or absolve what happened but shows that there is something else wrong here that needs to be addressed also.
My wife told me before our marriage 36+ years ago that if I "touched" her she was out of there. Same applies in my direction although I never thought of it at the time.
You mentioned you've been dealing with this for a while. I suggest you're getting numb or inured to this, which isn't a good thing.
Seriously, consider getting out!
