    Nope, it's all an act. Do yourself a favor and stay away from him.

    Yes, he could have changed, but best not to risk it. Change is usually temporary. The impulse to lose your temper never really goes away. It's probably the freshness of a new relationship that has him acting differently. It wouldn't be the same with an ex gf. Sorry, wish I could be more positive. I've been there, done that.

    My ex was abusive and is totally different with me now, but I am also no longer in his daily life. Of his last two girlfriends I do believe he has hit them but he won't say. One said he slapped her and the other says he threatened to leave her stranded thousands of miles away from home. I believe that he is different when it comes to being friends because we are not there daily to aggravate or set off that fuse. Whoever is in their life is so they may not be so lucky. It is extremely hard to break a habit so therefore I would say no they can't change IF it is a repetitive behavior.

    You get a gun and threaten him... Or in case you decide directly to be criminal, call somebody that can handle issues like that--police, adults in the community, mothers and fathers, businesses made especially for persons being abused, etc. nicely, i desire each and every thing is going o.k. :(

    Most likely he didn't change and it will only be a matter of time before it starts again

    Abusers can be fine friends - but his friends don't know how he treats women behind closed doors.

    If they want to change, they can. But they have to want it with all they have.
