What I've noticed about relationships where one person kick's the other
person's teeth in is that usually the blame is somewhat shared.  The one
person who gets kicked has been giving little kicks all along, but nothing
as colourful as THE FINAL KICK, so of course it is the final one which gets
noticed, and the final kicker is construed to be a  who
has "done it" to the other.  So it just is simply a matter of different
fighting styles.

(Speaking from personal experience of course.)

Busily knockin'em out....
