I am not able to comment as I am still with my abuser, but after a few times he got aggressive, he told me that I can be very lucky he loves me as he hurt his ex much more than he hurts me (that should have been an eye opener). When I got frightened and wanted to leave, he told me that I am sensitive and he didnt refer to fights, he referred to when he is playful and hurting you playfully.
God only knows why I didnt leave then…
