    Thanks for the response. 

    I must say, I don't think he is 'an abuser'. I think he's said some pretty awful things and been quite forceful with his opinions to the point its my way or no way but I don't think he intentionally sets out to abuse. I could be wrong. 

    I think he's been mothered all his life, I think he's never been told no in his upbringing & this has lead to him becoming a lazy adult who expects others to always do for him & that he'll get what he wants, always. 

    Add to that that I think he is mentally immature for his age. Mid to late 20s, new child but all he wants to do is play consoles and hang out with the boys kind of thing. 

    So I think it's a combination of things rather than he's just an outright abuser. 

    Physical I'm not so sure. I think there's potential there as one of her belongings will testify, or rather the pieces it ended up in during one frustrated outburst. There's no signs he's been physical towards her though. 

    So going to have to see how it plays out. Hopefully he'll mature & things will work.
