Probably, but sometimes it can be subtle. I mean, sometimes when a girl sees
her boyfriend being jealous it makes her feel more secure and flattered. Or
if he seems to get really angry about little things, you might be able to
write it off to his having a bad day.

Often battering really begins during pregnancy. It seems to set a lot of
batterers off.
