Identifying Men Who Use Violence


Men who use to abuse their family are not have some specific profile. The abusers can belong to any culture, they are of any religion or their income also does not matter.

They Are Ordinary People


Most of us think that the abusers can easily be identified because of their behavior. We assumed that their behavior is very harsh towards everyone. 


They are not the monsters like we assumed. They are normal people who behave well with others and can easily adjust in our social circle. It is very important to understand the behavior of an abuser as they behave in a very good and attractive way. We should not assume that the abusers are physically or psychologically unwell.

 They Can Be Likable

It is not easy to understand how women can be easily in a relationship with someone who is abusive. There are some reasons behind this;

  • usually Abusive men are extra caring and much attractive
  • when they are in the beginning of relationship they show some extra attention
  • women in starting can recognize the verbal and emotional abuse


For the other people, abusive person is normal, as he may have family and friends, so people think he is a normal person. So, when woman discloses the abuse about that kind of person, people not believe the woman easily.

Men Who Abuse Also Don’t Abuse

We usually think that man can’t be abusive as he treats his wife in a very lovely way and very good relations with his friends and colleagues. Maybe we like someone very much but at a same time he can be very abusive to his partner. We cannot believe this very easily.

Most of the abusers, abuse their partners because they think they have some ownership over their wives. They think they have right to do the violence, so they can make their partners to do the things which they want.


These kinds of men may have two different sorts of behaviors. They treat people very nicely at their work place and show much aggressive behavior at home. As they satisfy themselves that they are not doing anything wrong because their behavior is good with other people.

How Abusers Groom Victims

Abusers usually mixed up their loving behavior with the abusive one. At the start of relationship abuser show some extra love and positive interactions but after some time they started to show their abusive actions at very low level, which surprise the victim to some extent but not completely. In starting days abuser show extra attention, listen to their partner very carefully, most of the time surprised their partners by giving them gifts. 


But slowly abuser started to show his anger and abusive behavior and try to convince his partner that these actions are also because of love as jealousy and anger is part of love. As they have shown so much love and attention, so the victims are confused about the abuse and cannot leave their partners easily.
