I personally think that DV falls under infidelity. You have broken that person's trust, and weren't faithful to them. With this being said, infidelity is grounds for divorce. Counseling a victim of DV is similar to counseling a victim of a cheating spouse. There's trust issues, and an introspective "what did I do wrong" attitude that must be overcome.

I agree and would add insecurity plays a part.
