I have a question for you all -

If these acts of intimidation/temper tantrums occurred less than 15 times in our six year history - and there were no attempts at isolating me, controlling my life and activities- can we really say this is a domestic violence issue? I never felt scared of him, even in the last several days. I knew he would not start anything. I just watched V's video. He was all too happy to leave and be done here. It seems that is very opposite of a typical abuser.

My best friend said that he felt that my H no longer had romantic love for me and just didn't care anymore deep down. That he was trying to fake it all and there was a very big divide in the man H wants to be and is in actuality. That he couldn't stand to be the bad guy. I had to end it.

You can't DR your way out of abuse.
