In case you’ve missed it, apparently Rihanna is or will be getting back together with Chris Brown. Yep, the same guy who beat her so badly that her face was swollen and unrecognizable.
Now, regardless of the background of the fight (did she or did she not hit/bite or otherwise assault him first, since provocation is still not a defense for the viciousness of his attack) - can people in such a dysfunctional relationship change and can they be happy together?
I’m using them as an example, but do you know of others or believe that an abuser can change his or her ways and be in a healthy relationship and NOT re-offend?
Re: Ripped from the headlines...can people really change?
First of all, if it was a ONE time incident and he lost his temper, we don't know WHAT happened (not saying hitting a woman is Okay) but we can't judge it w/o knowing the cause , like you said...so yes, people can change IF It was one time.
A person who abuses on a constant daily basis, has a foul mouth ( like most desi cases) then NO. They cannot.
Re: Ripped from the headlines...can people really change?
regardless of what happened. You never ever hit a women. Not even the crazy ones that are like "Im gonna hit you cuz i know you cant hit me back". Ive been in that situation. the best thing to do is just walk away. I do believe people can change and "do their time" and maybe rihanna has forgiven him (thats another situation). But his erratic behaviour like smashing up the morning news show studio and then tweeting things and deleting tweets (somebody needs to take twitter away from him) dictates that he hasnt changed. He tweeted something along the lines of "F U to the haters" after getting an award which is just basically him seeking validation for what he did. and the fact that a lot of fans were ok with him hitting rihanna (especially his female followers) makes me kind of sick.
