The Mean and Sweet Cycle "The Loser" cycles from mean to sweet
and back again. The cycle starts when they are intentionally hurtful and
mean. You may be verbally abused, cursed, and threatened over something
minor. Suddenly, the next day they become sweet, doing all those little
things they did when you started dating. You hang on, hoping each
mean-then-sweet cycle is the last one. The other purpose of the mean
cycle is to allow "The Loser" to say very nasty things about you or
those you care about, again chipping away at your self-esteem and
self-confidence. "The Loser" often apologizes but the damage to your
self-esteem is already done - exactly as planned.

Sometimes the cycles are long and sometimes they are short, but they are there. At times I feel he even blacks out. That he forgets about the mean stuff and continues as nothing happened. But I now realizes that he doesn't black out - he just don't care nor does he think there was anything wrong with what happened. He never apologizes to me. I don't feel he thinks he need to because in his mind I am the reason to why he is so angry. And I never confront him to apologize either, I am too scared to.
Right now we are in a "sweet" phase. He is not overly sweet but he does not yell and curse and all that right now. And on top of it, the house is clean... I must have shown him I love him or something along those lines.
He keeps saying "I love you" every day now.. I wonder what he really feels. He does not feel genuine love, like most people feel love. I am sure he feels something. But in this case I think he feels that I am slipping away. That I am changing (which I am) and he is using "I love you" as a trick to lure me back in.. I respond as passionately as the blacktop on our driveway. I could care less what he says to me at this point. It is not real. He does not love me - he just wants to control me.
