 I think poor impulse control is what makes people turn violent. Retroactive jealous is just one thing that might trigger a potential abuser.

Perhaps if you be more specific, we can offer some better advice.

But I do not thing retroactive jealousy is any more prone to causing violence than any other kind of bad emotions. In fact I am guessing it is less prone to turning violent than average because the events that caused the trouble are in the past. So they don't hit the person with the same kind of acute pain that a current event would. Retroactive jealousy is usually more like a blunt wound that never heals.

 Yes, I'm sure it could. If the person who is suffering with the jealousy can't control it or do something to help themselves, then they will wind up getting bitter, angry and then resent the other person.
This could then lead them to dealing with it in different ways - mental abuse, physical abuse or walking away from the relationship altogether.
I'm sure there are better Aunts and Uncles on here who might add to this with more insight.
Hope this helps and your not in this situation yourself.
