I'm newly dating someone who was in a toxic relationship for 13 years...she was an alcoholic and didn't show him any affection. He suffered the expected anger of an alcoholics spouse..... He admitted he struck her. First said it was once, then admitted it was twice. (Does that mean it was more times I wonder). He is ashamed and mortified by it and genuinely comes across as a mild mannered man.
But it doesn't sit well with me obviously. I'm not involved enough to have feelings for this man. Would you walk away at this point....? Have you been in this situation?
