[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be very careful at labeling your husband as abusive. My wife tried to do this to me and it was clearly a situational thing. We had both been going through a hard time. She tried to use it to justify an emotional affair she later had. Try to understand where he is coming from. There are a lot of people with abuse finding agendas. Steer clear of them. Screaming matches and drunken fights are not ideal but they could mean passion. [/quote]

No.

If you think your husband has turned a corner and now seems to be someone you want to be with, then you need to get yourself into counseling to deal with your resentment and to find out if the damage runs too deep to be fixed or if you can rediscover your love and desire for him.

It is also important to own whatever horrible things you have done to him as well of course; therapy will help you do this.

But do not under any circumstances make excuses for the shitty way he treated you. Acknowledge it and see if you can move on from it. It is entirely possible that you cannot, but you seem to want to at least try and therapy is a good start. Individual, as well as couples.[/quote]
