Gerrard Moran, 39, of Springfield Street, Wigan, appeared before borough justices to admit to assaulting Karen Crowther in Manchester on November 16 in what was described by the bench as a domestic violence incident.
He was given a 16-week prison sentence but it was suspended for 24 months. He must also complete a programme for people with alcohol problems and another called Building Better Relationships.
Moran must take part in 10 days of rehabilitation activities and pay £213 to the court and victim services.
