What is the potential for a relationship with someone who was incarcerated for 5 years for hitting a woman?

Answer

None.

Answer

Unless you enjoy being abused and beaten, there is no potential. He will attack you sooner or later. He has the potential to kill you. If you read this and think : " Oh, no, he's so sweet and caring, etc etc", you are in for a bad surprise!

Answer

No one gets a five year sentence for "hitting a woman." It was a whole lot worse than that. (Not that hitting anyone is acceptable). More likely he inflicted serious injuries and is a repeated offender. The easiest way to predict future behavior is by looking at past behavior. I don't believe any type of abuser can be rehabilitated. Like wild animals, the potential to attack is always present. IMO, anyone who gets involved with one is "living on borrowed time."

Most abusers are serial, repeated offenders. Read the statistics:

Answer

None at all. You may as well be the woman that he was incarcerated for hitting. My ex-boyfriend had assult charges pressed on him for punching his mom in the nose and breaking it. He was emotionally abuse towards me, and he would hit things (thankfully not me, though) when he was angry. The point is that if he hit one woman, there's a very good chance that he'll hit you, unless he willingly saught theropy and benefitted from it.
