I am no expert on this, or anything else, for that matter, but I would suspect the answer is no. Spousal abuse is like any other form of bullying; it is a power game. The abuser has no respect for the abused person; there is no love in the relationship. NO!!! And if he tells you he is, he isn't. Don't believe it. Get out and get a real man that doesn't need to use his fist. You are better than that.
Sometimes they do, yes.
Well if its UNintended, then no it doesn't make you a abuser. The abuser continues his abusive ways even after it's been brought up to him or her. Just be sure to talk to your spouse about this problem. Let them know that you are sorry for what you did and you did not mean to do it.
You don't need physical evidence for proof. Just the fact that your afraid of your abuser is enough to get the law involved.
No Carrots for the Rehabilitated was created in 1993.
Sometimes. If he shares a home with a spouse, the spouse may seek possession of the home as part of a divorce. If the home is rented, using illegal substances may be grounds for eviction, depending on state law. If the substance abuser becomes violent toward other people living in the house, he may be forced out by restraining order.
A verbal abuser is someone that is constantly at their spouse by calling them names; sometimes using dirty language; the abuser is never satisfied with anything their spouse does and makes the spouse feel they are walking on egg shells around the verbal abuser. A physical abuser is anyone that pushes; shoves; kicks; scratches; punches (giving a black eye; split lip or missing teeth to broken bones.) Yes, it is possible for the abused person to not tell anyone in the family or even their closest friends about the abuse because they are caught in a very dangerous situation and often times fear for their lives' are embarrassed or, at the very least they have been so traumatized they no longer have the energy or self confidence to run from their abuser. Up until the late 1960s there were few places an abused person could run too so they had to stay with their abuser as their abuser had not only brain washed them, but also was sure the abused spouse had no money. Abusers are crafty at what they do and can appear charming and even win over the abused person's family and their friends. Some women of abuse that end up in hospital or see their doctor will make excuses for their injury or injuries such as 'Oh, I fell down the basement stairs.' In some cases if the hospital suspects abuse they may well look into the matter without the abused person's agreement, but if the victim does not press charges against her abuser there is nothing much they can do. Now there are Women's Abuse Centers where they offer safe shelter; programs to learn all about abuse; legal counsel and help the woman find employment.
no.

There are many ways a woman can be physically abused that do not include hitting. http://www.helpguide.org/mental/domestic_violence_abuse_types_signs_causes_effects.htm#definition
If you mean legally, then I would imagine it would depend on if you had children with the drug using spouse. If you do, it would be best to notify the police or contact an attorney. You have a responsibility to keep the children safe, and keeping them in a place where one parent is using drugs is not safe. If not, then all you would have to do is pack and leave.
No he is not a child abuser.
Heck yes and DON'T GO!
