Deep in your heart you know that an abuser is always an abuser. Abusers usually come from an environment of abuse and it's a learned state of mind. I am sure your partner is trying their best not to be abusive, but actually the person needs psychological counselling to learn why they feel they need to abuse their partner. You are waiting for that almighty explosion! It's coming and you know it, but you just don't know when. Both of you need to go for counselling to make this work. Good luck Marcy

Not likely. Generally the MO is they do everything but leave & the abused must be the one who escapes.
Regret is a feeling. If you feel regret, and you probably will sometimes, you have no real control over that. You can repress a feeling but you cannot change it. It is always ok to feel whatever you really feel, even when it would be a bad idea to act on the feeling. We often tend to idealize the past, feel nostalgic, forget the abuser's bad traits and offending conduct and remember the "good old times".
An abused person can identify with their abuser. The abuse itself would not be called Stockholm Syndrome. How the abused feels about the abuser would be Stockholm Syndrome.
It means you want him back, but you have this feeling that you can't have him back. Do you get what i'm saying?
No he is not a child abuser.
The abuser may or may not mean it. It is not possible to tell in the abstract without knowing the individuals concerned. I would add that there is often a difference between being ashamed and feeling guilty . Shame often produces a kind of self-loathing, something that is non constructive. A sense of guilt, by which I mean feeling bad about an action, can lead to remorse and the kind of counselling (or treatment) that will stop the abuse. (Obviously, what really matters is the abuser's fundamental attitude, not whether he/she uses the word shame (or ashamed) rather then guilt.
I'm a qualified counsellor. Your therapist can NOT use your private information and give it to your abuser. Everything you say to your counsellor is 100 percent private and confidential. Counselling may be of some help to you but you will not be happy and settled untilyour abuser is out of your life. If your abuser is still living with you then counselling wont make much of a difference. See your doctor and speak to him about the abuse you're suffering and your doctor will arrange something for you.
Show that you have become stronger. Mentality is everything. Dont show that you fear him and confront him calmly. If he shows agression, kick his ass. >:)
