For the last 4 years all I've dated was assholes. But they were the ones who wouldn't show it until after we moved in or got serious (rape, beat or call me down). Then I found my current boyfriend who was a major sweetheart. Now he's changing, always wants me to do things, snaps on me, lies, whatever. I'm seeing signs that I did in the other guys but there something else telling me its just a phase. Should I be worried or listen to my gut?

My sister was a lot like you. I had to beat the crap outta more losers than I could count. Have self respect and stop fishing for guys in bars and clubs (if that's indeed where you are meeting these j-offs). don't rush into the whole move-in thing and make them wait a bit before you take the plunge into a hole you can't escape.
I'm a self-proclaimed asshole too but I'd never hit a women and certainly never rape one. That's beyond "ass" and into "VIOLENT CRIMINAL". Treat yourself with respect otherwise no one else will.
Listen to your gut. Also, you need more self esteem. Even if you are strong and tough, you can still have some self esteem issues that keep you in a pattern of destructive relationships. It's so much better to be single than it is with someone who treats you like shit. If you've been with someone who raped or hit you, jesus christ you need some time to deal with that. Stop going out with jerks and if, as you are now, you sense they are a jerk, get the hell out of there and don't look back.
