Dear Adam

Please do not take what I say as a reason to go back into an abusive relationship.

It appears from what you have said that there was a cycle to her.  Woman do have a hormonal cycle and this can exaggerate & trigger behaviors.

Many people do not recognize this and therefore can not take steps to help ease the situation also it can be a very touchy subject as timing is crucial when broaching it.

When I was young there was a couple of days of the month where I was horny as hell ( this clouds judgement) and then about a week or so later it would swing the other way where I was emotional,  but also  could not bare to be touched ( this stage also clouded my judgement). Then my period would arrive (relief ).
