Trust
So many posters are advising the LW that she can't trust this man. They may be right (although they don't know him), but they may be missing the point. The real problem is that the LW doesn't trust him now. If you have to think about buying a safe to be around this man, something is seriously amiss already. Whether he can be reformed or not is unknown. But the fact that she doesn't feel safe with him right now is a big problem. And as she's been in abusive relationships before, I think she should take these feelings of mistrust very seriously.
I am curious what the LW's therapist says, too.
