Emily, this is a typical cycle of an abusive man. They hurt you, then come around to show you how sweet they are, how much they love you. And then when they get pissed again, they hurt you all over again and the cycle repeats.
Kevin needs help -- the kind you cannot give to him. You can love him and you can even want your marriage to work, but clearly this man needs some SERIOUS help before you can have a healthy relationship.
