Thank you for the thoughtful response. I do take it seriously. We are very early in getting to know each other but have become close very quickly. It was a suspended sentence. The first charge, to answer PP's question, was in the 1990s. [b]I have only seen a glimpse of him getting angry and it was a little scary but it was not directed at me. [/b]So, I have a lot to think about. [/quote]

Can you tell us about the incident where he got mad at someone?[/quote]

To answer this question (and some of the others), he got angry about his phone while we were in the car together and starting swerving and raising his voice. He's in his early 40s, so last incident was in his 30s. I have seen no other signs of controlling or belittling or isolating behavior. I recently came out of a emotionally abusive relationship, so this looks and feels much, much better. I 100% admit to having problems maintaining good relationships btw.

Thank you so much to those who opened up about past histories of DV. That has the most weight to me right now.

I think my therapist knows I need to make my own decision on this. I've talked to all of my friends about it, my therapist, and DCUM. I was up last night thinking about it. I will speak to him about it, I don't think I can wait anymore, even if it's uncomfortable.[/quote]
