Hello and thank you for expressing you situation with EmpowHER. I'd love to give you advice that will help you make sense of the situation.
First of all, domestic abuse is considered a crime in the US. Thus, the United States Department of Justice has defined exactly what domestic abuse is in writing.
I suggest that you read the description at the link below.
From what you have said, I can see that your husband has offended in most if not all of these categories. You can trust the law and trust what you have experienced to be the truth.
There is plenty of room for change, but if your judgement tells you that he has not changed, then you should not feel pressured into a relationship with a person you do not trust.
You are right, if he believes he has done nothing wrong he will most likely act the exact same way as he did before. Therefore, if you want to give him another chance, it needs to be on your terms this time.
Good luck and let us know if you have any more questions.
