Afraid of Breaking Up

My girlfriend is always upset with me. She continuously jumps to conclusions, gets angry with me, and basis her decisions on her being upset before trying to figure things out. When she is mad she is verbally abusive. She says the meanest and most hurtful things too me. Normally I am calm and try to calm her down by talking gently to her, explaining things too her, or just giving her space. Although she request that I give her space (in a very aggressive manner and tone and not in those words, lol) it never works. Because after the fact, she gets upset because she feels as though that if I don’t stay on the phone and argue with her that I don’t care.
When I try to calm her down or explain things to her that doesn’t work because she doesn’t want to listen to me and she is continuously cursing me out, demeaning my character, and pushing me away. When it gets out of hand of course I eventually snap. I retaliate at her words and behavior by being loud and we both end up getting into physical altercations at times.
I know this is crazy, but we always manage to talk about it and get back together. She promises she will control her behavior but she is always up to her same antics. I don’t want to leave her because she means alot to me and I love her. But this is obviously unheathly and I don’t know what to do.

you want an unhealthy relationship?

you think you can change her?

you think she will change for you? have you asked her to see a shrink yet for anger management?

I’m dumbfounded.
