I can tell you, Noone should "Suck it up" or just "Deal with it" It tears you up inside and can turn people into what people say, an emotionless robot. I have seen a woman actually beat her partner to hell, only to get a small fine. So yes, I do believe this is an Issue and its swept under the carpet by those who think its not a problem. It is, and it needs to stop. You can't have people thinking that emotional or physical abuse is just "Part of growing up"

We, the society should educate our children and adults in better emotion regulation and open communication.
If you say stop, you should mean it. (Unless in a rpg session but then you have a safe word)
Anger, sadness, frustration, fear are not bad. Nor good. They are just feelings. And if you accept that, you can choose how to respond to those feelings.
No suppression needed. You are not your feelings. They will pass.
Abuse and violence are failing to deal with your feelings in a constructive way. And anyone who cannot channel their feelings properly, should be taught. Repeat offenders should be incarcerated.

Much as I like Asimov, that quote is overly simplistic and trite. Many situations exist where the only reasonable solution is violence.
Come to think of it, Asimov didn't say that, did he? It was a character, Hober Mallow I think, in Foundation who said that.

Could you name some situations in a relationship where violence is the only reasonable solution?

But I did.
Biologists and psychologists differentiate between aggression and violence

Violence is intentionally destructive, aggression can be destructive but most of the time isn't
