Nobody can give you an informed answer with so little information� and you shouldn't post more details on the Internet where everyone can read them.

In order to be convicted of a felony, the prosecution would have to prove you did something that went beyond arguing, such as injuring him (even slightly),using a weapon or force that was likely to cause serious injury, or threatening to kill him.

However, even a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction can cause immigration problems.

You need personal help from a lawyer, not advice from a stranger on the Internet. If you are charged with a crime and can't afford to hire you own attorney, the judge will appoint one when you go to court. In the meantime, you may be able to get assistance from a local agency that helps abused women.
