"When can you let your guard down and feel safe after leaving an abusive relationship?" It varies for everyone. But in my case when the abuser has decided to leave me alone and move on. I believe letting your guard down requires you to understand the reasons why you got into an abusive relationship in the first place so that you can protect yourself in the future. There are steps to take that will keep you safe, (both physically and emotionaly), that you are responsible for learning and implimenting. When you research the ways to avoid and stop abuse, you will see the things you did to invite and tolorate the abuse. When you are clear about what you did, and the things nessesary to protect yourself now that you are out, you will feel much safer.

Is it possible to turn an abusive relationship around?
Sometimes you are able to. It all depends on the relationship. I know you and your partner are deeply in love and you probably can not see yourself with out him or her. You need to sit down with your partner and decide if you both want to put in the effort, and counseling to fix your relationship. If it does not work, then no you can not fix an abusive relationship because it just is not meant to be. When you think about it, you should not try to isolate, control, or limit the one you love because that is not true love. If you have the thoughts of leaving your partner, then you should because if you were truly happy then you would not be having these thoughts. Moving on is a very hard thing, but with great friends to keep your mind off of him/her, it is possible. I experience this myself.

Why do people stay in abusive relationship?
Several different reasons. One could be because the abuser has such a hold on the abused that they stay because they think that the abuser is the only person that will want them. There is also fear that if the abused left the abuser would hunt them down and make them pay for leaving in the first place. If you asked 10 different abused people why they stay (stayed) in they're abusive relationships I can almost promise you'll get 10 different answers. In some cases the abused person believes that she/he can fix the abuser, or for complex reasons might even feel guilt about leaving the abuser.
Is it a sign of an abusive man if you are just getting to know one another and he's already saying you're amazing and wants to talk for hours on the phone every night even though you met a week ago?
Abusive? No. Possibly desparate for a relationship and maybe a little obsessive, but unless he puts you down or you see him treat others like crap, he doesn't sound abusive.

Does an abusive person treat a new relationship better if the new person does what they say or want?
An abusive person tends to remain abusive unless they make a real effort to change. An abusive person will always be just that and no matter how much their new mate will agree with them they will still remain abusive. Abusive people either come from a family of abuse, something has happened to them in their lives that they are extremely angry at, and there is always a reason for the way they are. Sometimes it just comes down to the point that person is miserable and loves controlling their mate because they cannot control life in general. A relationship is about sharing each others dreams and opinions and the major one is respect. Neither mate should rule over the other, but share as best they can. It's a catch-22. Abusers despise submissive and obsequious people. But they also demand automatic and full compliance with their wishes and instructions.

Do abusive men ever leave their partners or is it a test to see if you will call them?
Usually abusive men are in love with the control they have over their partners. They will do various things to keep the abuse going which includes leaving their partner, holding back on affection, etc. They will do ANYTHING to keep that control. So no it's not a test to see if they can get you to call them, it's a way of keeping control over their partner to break them down emotionally. Everything that is done is intentional & the abuser will get upset when they are not getting the results they are wanting and the abuse will usually escalate from there. It's a cycle and the only person that can end it is the victim. When you're in an abusive relationship it is hard to break free but know that you are putting your life at risk by continuing to stay in this situation. Good luck & God Bless!
