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.

Would an abusive ex-boyfriend be mad if his close friend was trying to get together with you?
Most likely, yes. First, congratulations on getting out of the abusive relationship. I hope that the friend is not also abusive, its definitely not always the case, but being abusive can have a lot to do with socio-economic factors and environment. Chances are if the two are friends they may have a lot of those environmental factors in common. I reccommend dating the other guy slowly before you let the relationship blossom into anything more serious (that is, try to wait before you get physical). This will give you a chance to get to know the friend and if your ex is going to get violent and jealous you will get to know before you have slept with his friend. Good luck.

You either leave him (get help if you need it) or prepare for a sad life of being abused because he doesn't love you and will not change. True love does not abuse but instead puts the other ahead of themselves.
How do you deal with a verbally abusive boyfriend without breaking up with him?
It is important to set boundaries and communicate assertively with your boyfriend about the impact of his behavior.
