David Holloway, aged 56, admitted to intentionally strangling his partner and assaulting her occasioning actual bodily harm.
The incident occurred after a heavy drinking session during which he consumed vodka, which he reportedly cannot handle and which causes mood changes.
According to the court, Holloway punched his partner in the left eye and then grabbed her around the neck with both hands, squeezing tightly.
She was unable to breathe and feared for her life.
She courageously bit one of his fingers, causing him to release her.
She called her son and left the house while Holloway was asleep.
The victim suffered bruising, red marks, and emotional distress, reporting to the court that she was left feeling scared and unable to sleep.
