How to handle an abusive spouse ?

Things are fine on my side. As usual my husband was nice with me and kid. So far no arguments.

Iam trying to convince him to take anger management classes. Yesterday he did not deny it. But at the same time he did not say yes.

Hopefully he will agree to it soon.

How to handle an abusive spouse ?

I dont think I will be able to do Gandhigiri. I can do satyagraha.

As some one suggested, kissing him when he slaps me. i.e., highly impossible.
I dont know whether it is ego or self esteem. But I can't do it.

Right now my only weapon is to change him with satyagraha.

How to handle an abusive spouse ?

I never raised my hand before or after he slaps me. I argue with him. I always feel that the problem is mainly with the way he was brought up. He is the only kid at home and no brothers or sisters. In his view, women are supposed to do all the house hold work, from cooking to taking care of kids ...
