I hope that I'm getting this straight: you are a woman who is ill and who has been in a relationship with a man who is abusive and caused you to loose everything. And now you are asking me whether he is going through a change of life? If this is so, get with it! Men do not go through a change of life like women. Their sex drive ebbs gradually through the years and that change does not represent any emotional problem. So do not excuse his abusive behavior. You are fooling yourself if you think that this is a temporary state. The best you can do is to keep him away - if your description is accurate and, I assume it is - and go on with your life. Not all disasters have a bad ending. Join a support group - and women have many support groups - where you will have a chance to open your problems and get help.
No, you aren't in an abusive relationship, but both of you are very immature. Just because one partner cheats doesn't give the other partner the right to do the same thing. If we aren't true to ourselves (we are our own best friend) then the relationships or anything else you endeavor in life is a waste of time. It's time for both of you to move on in different directions. Marcy
You can not change your partner pokemon.
Answer Abusive men are like drunks or drug users. Oh baby, please forgive me I really didn't mean it and when the heat dies down off they go again doing everything to spoil the day. Abusive men rarely stop on their own, they need professional help and the sooner the better. Don't believe the lies they tell you. they will never change on their own, they are sick people.
Honey for that long, I would of left when he first hit me. No matter what if a guy hits you even if he apoligises, he will keep going.
Self-sacrificing... It means to sacrificing yourself. But it's different for each person. It can mean you would give your life for that person/your partner or it could mean you would/are forced to change everything about you for that person/your partner.

Abusive behavior directed at a non-abusive partner isn't triggered by any misconception that her partner will be abusive. The abusive behavior is more like an immediate, reflexive defensive act against even the slightest hint or suggestion that a hurtful action may be forthcoming from the "nonabusive" partner, and all this according to a very negative and even paranoid interpretation by the woman of her non-abusive partner's behavior. And then she may never recognize or acknowledge her own abusive behavior unless by some crisis or extraordinary instant of enlightenment she finally sees her behavior as it is. But that isn't enough. She couldn't correct her "misconception" by her self, but by steadfastly and steadily working through the problem in therapy. Some abusers adamantly deny doing any of their abusive acts and will likedly never change. The victims of prolonged, persistent, and sadistic abuse often experience Post Traumatic stress Disorder (PTSD) and other, related, reactions. You need professional help to overcome these after-effects. Joining an online or offline support group also helps. I think you and your partner both need counseling. Especially you. If you have any kids, they need it as much as you do. That is probably the only way to get over your fear. You probably won't be able to do it on your own. It's not your fault, it's just the way the mind works. I totally know how this woman feels..... She must go and seek professional help, to help restructure the way she sees things...or else the fear will dictate her life. I wish her the best and hope that past abusers will not ruin her life. Remind her that she does not need to be ashamed to go for counceling....It part of the process to healing. c.
Possible, but not likely for him to change on his own without serious counseling.
An abusive man (emotional,physical, etc.) will seek insecure woman.Woman who are not independant. Someone to take care of their needs.And that is it, someone to satisfy their needs. An abusive man can not change, a woman can not change him. He has to change himself. He had to do it all alone, if he really wants to recover.I really wish all the ladies in abusive relationships strength. That is what they need to leave.

You cannot change the partner of it. Unless you use Alisa as your person then the original main character would be your partner. Hope the helped. :)
I'm sure there will be many individuals giving their feedback on this one. The following is only my opinion and that of a man. I believe that change in an individual comes over time. It's not a spontaneous event. OK, so lets say the woman stands up to him. He is shocked and backs down, or even apologizes. Do we think he's now going to mend his ways? I really do not think so. If he is going to change it will happen over time, and that's if he really feels he needs to change. Most men will become defensive, and the problem escalates. Communication with some one who has abusive tendencies is very difficult. The only way they will change is if they want to change. It's not that they do not have the ability to change, but in most cases refuse to change and for various reasons. So, we can call this resistance to change, which is one of the character traits of an abusive personality. Now, you have indicated this person as your partner. I am assuming (and I could be way off base) that your partner is a male (but it work the same way regardless of male or female). If this is a husband, much professional counseling may be required to make your marriage work, if you want it to. However, if this individual is not morally and lawfully bonded to you by marriage, then what the heck are you still doing in this relationship? You want some one who is going to treasure you, to build you up, and not tear you down; To encourage you and not discourage you. Now I must say this. I have seen many women in abusive relationships for years. Finally, they get themselves out of this tourment and guess what? They find another partner with the same characteristics, and it all starts over again. It's like these women have a natural propensity for being abused. Don't let this happen to you. You want to be happy, and enjoy life!! So do it!!
