The Cycle Theory of Domestic Violence:
Tension Building Stage
- Tension increases during arguments about money, work, children and daily activities. Name- calling, hostility and friction escalate.
- Victims may try to control the abuse by various coping techniques such as avoidance, appeasing or “giving in”.
Acute Battering Incident - Physical battery can be caused by anything and is unpredictable.
- Battery can start with pushing, hitting, and shoving, and may progress to more serious bodily harm, including murder.
Honeymoon Stage - Often batterers fear that their partners will leave them so they may apologize, promise to change, beg for forgiveness and vow to change their behavior.
- Victims and batterers often minimize the seriousness of the injuries and the intensity of the abusive behavior.
Background Check:

Unfortunately, unless a track record exists, security ultimately rests with your belief. However, a private investigator has the ability to conduct a covert investigation to confirm your suspicions.
