Godly fiance, or abusive fiance... which one is he?

My fiance is abusive to his mom, and I’m afraid that he will do the same to me. We’ve been together for over a year, and have known eachother for almost 3 years. He swears that he’d never hurt me, but I’m still scared. He has said several times he wants to be a preacher, and I want him to go for his dream, but an abusive preacher? I just don’t think I could handle that, no matter how much I’m in love with him… So my question is this; How can I get him to stop and realize what he is doing, so I can stay with him? I’ve given him my virginity and the way I have been raised, that is more valuable that any so-called “price-less” gem. I need help, and not to be picky, but maybe religious help would be best… please help,

Confused!

Answer #1

Well, when I said he’s abused his mom, he has actually hit her. He caused internal bleeding, and it was pretty bad because she was almost healed from an operation… so, I don’t know… he promised he would change, and I’m hoping he will, because I don’t want to leave him.

Answer #3

I am not sure he is so abusive as you describe him, but I am even saying that never marry anybody if you do not trust, and you have bad feelings/anticipation.

Answer #4

Well, he promised he’d change. I’m not sure if I’d put alot of faith into it, because I am really scared of what to think at this point. Thanks for the help. He’s not even acted abusive to me, no yelling, threatening, or anything. If I don’t want to do something its all “ok, then what do YOU want, baby?” and its just really confusing… I think I know he wouldn’t hurt ME, but someone else… that is a different story… Is all this wrong?

Answer #5

most abuse (physical) doesn’t start until you are too dependent to walk away easily. the most dangerous time (when it starts for most victims) is during pregnancy. second, is after marriage. usually abusers use physical violence as a way to keep the power and control, to get what he wants. almost everyone that i’ve talked to (it’s alot, i’ve worked in domestic violence for 5 years now) says that they never thought he could be violent with them. you’ve got some warning by his treatment of his mother, don’t ignore it, go with your gut and keep yourself safe. and abusers come in all types, preachers, doctors, you name it.
