How to know if my abusive husband is changing? Perhaps like Claire, you hope he can change.

If you want to discuss the possibility of your abusive husband changing with other women who feel the same way, attend a Betrayal Trauma Recovery Group Support Sessions.

A man who is changing will consistently reject misogyny.

This means that he will:

• Not expect or ask others to cook, clean, or “take care” of him.
• Not expect, ask for, or coerce you or others for sex.
• Clean up after himself and others, taking on household and yard tasks without being prodded, asked, or encouraged.
• Avoid organizations and situations where misogyny and patriarchy are systemically significant.
• Reject patriarchal leadership roles.
• Forfeit financial control and take proactive steps to learn how to have a mutual financial partnership

Heathly Men Don’t Exploit Women

Healthy men don’t use exploitative material, period. They understand that it is exploitative and abusive to the victims in the industry, as well as destructive to their wives and themselves.

It’s NOT a “temptation” to a healthy man. It’s a no-brainer. If your husband is truly changing, he has done the work to understand the exploitative nature of the industry.
