Should you try to work on an emotionally abusive relationship when it becomes long-distance if he swears he will change?

An abusive man never really changes unless there is a traumatic condition or possibly therapy, but even that will often not help. Just leave. Use the "long distance" to get away.

Why do people enter emotionally abusive relationships?
We are drawn to people who speak our emotional language.To begin with, the relationships usually are not emotionally abusive. However, all abusers have certain personality characteristics in common. Both women and men are drawn to mates with familiar personalities. (That is why we often remark that so-and-so married his mother or father.) People raised in abusive families are, accordingly, attracted to people with the personality traits of abusers, who seem familiar to them -- but they do not realize why. As the relationship develops, the personalities frequently becomes all too familiar.There is another theory to the effect that we are drawn to relationships with people similar to those earlier in our lives, in order to be able to "get it right this time."Regardless of which of several theories are correct, it is undeniable that the abused are drawn to abusers, just as surely as people from alcoholic families tend to marry potential drinkers.
Why do women seek out abusive men and what makes a man abusive?
Many times, women don't "seek out" abusive men necessarily, but women are often attracted to "bad" boys, and that is just the way it is, no reason for it. And of course those bad boys could end of being highly abusive. Men are abusive when they control everything in a their parter's life. There is physical abuse, and emotional abuse, and many other types. If you ever feel threatened or unsafe, that could be a sign of abuse and you have to get out of that relationship immediately before it becomes something you'll regret. Your "man" WILL ask for you back, but you just have to stay strong and listen to your heart!
Why do abusers make their family believe that their partners are crazy?
Abusers deny that they are abusers and that their conduct is abusive. They shift the blame to the victim. One good answer is that to them it is 'fun'. they stay in control, make sure that their partner does not get any sympathy or help, and the abuser is running the show. It is all part of the controling and manipulative process that the abuser beleives keeps their victim so physically, mentally, and emotionally in chaos that they will never leave. It does work as many people don't leave their abusive partners and become sick physically, mentally, and emotionally trying to survive, stay partnered, and/or rescue their abuser. They need to have someone on their "side." Seeing as they have isolated the abused person, they need to have total control. Since the outside world hasn't the first clue what kind of person they are, they will need "someone" to have as a witness that the abused person is actually crazy--especially when the relationship becomes severed. I know it happened to me. While in the abusive relationship the abused person loses their sense of reality of what they once knew and actually begin to think they are going crazy. The abuser is very good at manipulating therefore they are masters of manipulation of facts, words, circumstances and events---all to make themselves appear "sane" while the abused person appears "crazy." You are not crazy and obviously those outside the relationship do not know the full spectrum of your relationship with the abuser. God Bless
Is it ok to give the silent treatment to your abuser during the honeymoon phase when he makes as if nothing has happened and is very attentive and helpful?
How do you use "abuser" and "honeymoon phase" in the same sentence. If someone is abusing you, get out of there. I have never understood why some women will put up with a man who becomes physically or emotionally abusive. I have 4 daughters and each of them knows that they can come home and I will protect them if their husband ever becomes abusive. So far, only one daughter has had to take me up on that offer, the other hubands are great guys and I respect them. Go find yourself a great guy. Don't settle for anything less.

If your spouse was cheating but decided to stay with you could verbal or physical abuse follow if he still loves the other woman?
Yes it could happen by some male spouses. Wives can sometimes trap their husbands into staying either by blackmail or their finances are tied up together and he stands to lose a lot of money. If the wife does this then there is really no satisfaction for her and he'll certainly not cooperate with his wife. Whether he becomes verbally/physically abusive depends on what type of man he was in the relationship with his wife. If he was never abusive then he won't be if he is forced to stay in a relationship with no love attached.
Is it common for a verbally emotionally abusive parent to continue to abuse after the child becomes an adult?
yes it is they dont know how to break the cycle That's very true. At times, they may not even recognize their actions for what they really are. Other times, the parents may continually need that power over the child - they need the assumed importance or replacement for something they feel they lack. More often than not, it is the child who will have to be a strong enough person to cut the ties and realize that they do not deserve this treatment - parent or not, no one has the right to be abusive to someone else.
