i can surely say that God can change anybody. 3 years before i married my husband he use to smoke drink, club, we even got into a physical altercation once. i said i would never go back in a situation like that but i did.and he changed completely no smoking drinking and he never put his hand on me again. we've been married 5 years now and have a 6 year old and a 6 month. so people can change but on the other hand fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me.

No i don't think men change once they abuse there spouse they will always beat them up just like once a cheater always a cheater!!!!

I can't even listen to this guy because I can't get past the fact that he said he was "converasting" with someone.

once a wife beater always a wife beater! abusers, drug addicts and useless worthless drunks don't change! and if a person is dumb enough to go back timt and time again then they deserve every beating and broken bone they get! get a backbone and GET OUT!

i believe they don't change it only gets worse...this is from my personal experiences i had two abusive relationships physically,mentally and emotionally and it only gets worse!! and the first sign of abuse u see u should grab everything run and dont look back!

Usually the women that go back to violent relationships end up dead. Ppl can change but you need to protect you'r self from harmful situations. As for drugs i was a user now i'm a mom and don't use so it's not impossible to get straight, although it's difficult.

hey, sometimes it is really hard to change.it depends on the problem and the cir[bleep]stances surrounding the person.a former alcoholic finds it hard to stay sober when always around alcohol for example. there also could be underlying problems.some people really do change and become very successful. i dont know what you are going through but good luck to you.if the person you are speaking of doesnt change move on with your life. it is always great to want to help someone but it also comes down to willpower on their part and if they don't want to change, they won't. try to help, if you can't don't waste your time, sometimes it is hard but you can do it.
