maybe he's not "as" abusive...but abusive is abusive...and guarantee that with the stress of marriage and a baby, it will escalate. They never start out "that" bad...but they always get worse.

it took me about 7 years longer than I wanted to in order to leave my abusive husband...finally made it out...and even though we still interact because we have two children together, life is MUCH better. It's hard...but better.
