Men who get involved with abusive women are typically those who had abusive childhood home environments. This kind of upbringing tends to normalize abusive behavior in all relationships. What this means is that men from this kind of a background are not as keen to the subtleties of abuse the way “healthy” men are.
On a positive note, there is a silver lining here—all behavior can be relearned, including the ability to recognize early signs of abuse as unacceptable behaviors in a relationship. Once this is learned, a man will be able to break free from unhealthy relationships with women who are not good for him.

In order to recognize early abusive signs, a man must stop
rationalizing “abusive” behaviors as “normal.” If
he sees ONE abusive behavior, regardless of how small, he needs to
remind himself that it IS abuse. Period! With this new skill, he will
soon be dating women who treat him with dignity and respect—the
way all men deserve to be treated.
