You need to educate YOURSELF about domestic violence. You keep asking the same question over and over. The answers you're getting aren't going to change. In the link I provided on your previous thread (which you clearly didn't read), they discuss what you are asking (yet again). Here is SOME of the text from that link, if you choose to actually read it.
http://www.womensshelterslo.org/get-informed/cycle-of-violence"[...]
Reconciliation
This phase is characterized by a calm, non-violent, or loving period of time. During this phase, the abuser may take some responsibility for his/her behavior, thus giving the partner hope for changes. The abuser may beg for forgiveness, promise not to do it again, promise to get help, give gifts, etc.
The Calm, also known as the 'Honeymoon Phase'
The incident of abuse if forgotten, this is the 'normal' phase of the relationship. This is the most dangerous phase of the cycle of violence. During this phase, the victim can be drawn back in by the batterer’s 'good behavior' and often has a false hope restored that the batterer will change. The victim sees the batterer as the person they fell in love with.
If there is no intervention and the relationship continues, there is a very high possibility the violence will escalate and the severity will increase.
The cycle can happen hundreds of times in an abusive relationship. Each stage lasts a different amount of time in a relationship. The total cycle can take anywhere from a few hours to a year or more to complete.
It is important to remember that not all intimate partner violence relationships fit the cycle. Often, as time goes on, the ‘making-up’ and ‘calm’ stages disappear. Once violence has begun, it characteristically increases in frequency and severity."
