if he is abusing you in a physical way.. leave, tell someone! don't ever let ANYONE do that to you no matter what reason!
if you're emotionally hurt, it's okay to cry. if you have children, don't let them see you cry, it hurts them. parents on the other hand is okay. they probably know what it's like to be hurt... heart broken.
talk it out with someone, let your emotions pour out! sometimes, it help to write what your feeling like. listen to sad songs so you can feel like the person singing it can relate to you. ( this helps me a lot! when I'm sad and i listen to happy songs, i get mad that I'm not happy!) or, distract yourself. do things that make you feel worth living. donate to charity, help the homeless, play with the disabled1 do things that make you feel good doing! and plus.. it will make you feel a whole lot better making someone else happy! depending on how badly your hurt, wait at least a month until going back to dating. i suggest 2 and a half months so you don't feel lonely, but you don't feel rushed. i know there's always a risk in love, but when you find the right one, it's worth it!!!
Well its about starting very slowly again as a need for trust in a partner is significant. So start off as friends and as the level of trust grows the relationship can progress. Its all about what you are comfortable with. If you feel a bit uncertain going to counseling sessions or joining a support group may help build your self-image and confidence again

Why would a man go back to his emotionally abusive ex wife?
Whether an emotionally abusive ex-wife or an emotionally abusive ex-husband, it seems that some people are unable to break away from a bad relationship. They somehow believe that if they just give it one more try, this time it will be different. Usually, such people are emotionally addicted (or accustomed) to the relationship; they may claim they hated it and can't wait to start all over with someone else, yet they keep being drawn back into the same old drama over and over. It may be that the man (in this case) doesn't want to accept that his marriage is really over; or maybe he still believes somehow he'll find a way to fix the problems; or perhaps he blames himself for the failure of the marriage; or if there are children, he may feel a duty to keep the relationship alive because the kids want to see mom and dad together. People who return to bad marriages, whatever their explanation for doing so, usually need counseling in order to truly break the pattern and create a new and healthy relationship.
Do you develop abusive patterns after being emotionally abused by your partner?
In the beginning of my relationship with a man, he was very kind and charming. Everything I ever wanted or dreamed about having in a man. The first time he stood me up, I was hurt and tried to tell him. He told me I was weak and he didn't owe me an explanation. From that point on, the more I voiced my needs, the more emotionally abusive he became. I noticed that I was retaliating with verbal abuse. He would call me a name, and I would call him something back. I think it was my way of defending myself. I'm not sure. I have guilt, because our fights were terrible destructive emotionally. I'm not sure if its common to start identifying and developing similar traits to an abuser.
Is it ok to start a new relationship right away after just getting out of not one but two abusive relationships?

Why do you think some people do not want to help people they know in an abusive relationship?
One reason may be is that they don't know how to help. Another reason may be they are afraid to help. The power that an abuser has over the abused is frightening, both emotionally and physically. It is not unheard of that an abusive relationship can end in murder. Often times the abused person has been brainwashed into thinking they don't deserve anything better. Or they know they need help, but are too afraid to ask for it. There are professional organizations that are trained to help people get out of abusive relationships. They will offer a safe place to stay, counseling and the tools to start their life over. The abused person is the only one who can make positive steps to leave an abusive relationship. The best that family and friends can do is support that decision.
How soon does an abusive boyfriend abuse and try to gain control?
First he'll start out nice to the point where you like him so much you wont want to break up with him. Then he'll start being abusive mental first little by little. Then he'll start to actually hit and push you. But he'll do all of this gradually.
My boyfriend came from an abusive home and he's very sweet but I've been seeing signs that he may start being abusive. How can I stop it or show him so he can stop it before it gets out of hand?
You cannot stop him from being abusive. He needs to be in counseling and have somebody (other than you) hold him accountable preferably a neutral party. People that have survived living in abusive homes are in survival mode, right now is not a good time to be in a relationship with him. Although he may in fact be a sweet person inside, the abuse will eventually trump all rationality and sweetness within him and you cannot help him with this, you can encourage him to go to counseling but there is nothing you can say or do that will help him.
How far into marriage does a man start becoming abusive?
Honestly it is up to you and your partner and how strong your relationship is. If you are seriously asking this question then it means that you probably do not trust your partner. Marriage is about love and trust. It is up to you and your relationship to prevent things like that from happening.

Is emotional harm intentional or reckless or both?
Emotional harm can be intentional, meaning the person causing harm purposely intends to cause emotional distress. It can also be reckless, meaning the person causing harm acts without regard for the consequences of their actions, even if they did not necessarily intend to cause harm.
How should my husband tell his mother that he needs to walk away from a relationship with her and her extremely abusive alcoholic ways for the sake of his own emotional well being?
He can say it just as you put it. If he'd rather not start a fight with his mother, perhaps he could write her a letter stating his problem with her alcohol abuse. His emotional well being is very important to preserve.
