According to Johnson's typology, this scenario falls under the category of "common couple violence," which is characterized by occasional outbursts of violence that are not motivated by a desire to control or dominate the partner, but rather stem from specific conflicts or disagreements. The other categories, such as "intimate terrorism," involve more systematic patterns of control and coercion.
