[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s very common for abusive men to control themselves until they feel like you are firmly on the hook. There are a few classic stages, at any one of which, the abuser can feel comfortable enough to start testing boundaries. If you do not enforce boundaries, then they escalate the abuse. Common stages for escalation are: “I live you”, living together, engaged, married, kids. My physical abuser escalated at the living together stage. My now ex-husband escalated to emotional abuse after the birth of our first child. [/quote]
