Its not the pupils I don't think. I mean I've never looked close because it scares me too, but its literally like something else takes over them. I'm pretty sure I sound a little weird saying that, but its true. Just like I said about supernatural, in that show the demons eyes are always black. Its just like that. It scares the life out of me.

the pupil can only dilate as big as the coloured part of the eye. I looked it up. that doesn't account for the whole thing being black, and I DO know exactly what you mean about wondering if it's something else.

I've wondered that too.

i googled 'husband eyes turn black rage' and found this on a forum:


Has anyone ever witnessed a person being in such a rage that their eyes actually change to black? It's scary. I hate him so much. I don't have even one ounce of love for him anymore. I'm going to have to sell my home and move but at least I won't have to live with him or see his crazy, abusive ass anymore.

so you and I aren't the only ones.

My counselor said other women had told him that too. He compared it to a sharks eye.

ugh. shark attack!

Actually, the reason for this is the pupil dialates and changes sizes. Very angry people have been known for their eyes to appear to turn black, but its just the changing of the size of the pupil. Certain drugs can cause this effect as well as changes in blood pressure.

So is it an ability that only men who have the capacity to get that angry can exhibit? I've been mad before, but I don't think I've ever been that mad, what's even scary is this creepy calmness comes over him when it happens

it happens to men and women. I think its more evident in men.

I'm still gonna allow myself to go with the demon theory...I liked it.

I've seen people with big black,dilated pupils,but the black eyes of my abuser are nothing like dilated pupils.

It's something different entirely.

I agree, and it feels different. I know a lot of people who use cocaine and that dilates eyes really huge, this isn't like that. That doesn't scare me, it just looks funny

I always thought his eyes looked empty. I've never payed that close attention to the color. Could be because when he's that enraged he's all towering over me and I'm always backed into a corner so he's all shadowed

I think I know the empty look, sometimes its like my ex wasn't even seeing me. Like there was nothing there.

i have heard several stories of demons causing that... from reliable sources.. too creepy. id rather believe its something else..

I don't really believe that our abusers are possessed by demons, but I do believe that it's something really weird.

I have such a strong picture in my mind of the first time I saw him like that, and it was right to the edges of his eyes, but mottled somehow. I can't explain it, and almost as if his eyelashes were all stuck together around it. it was just too scary for words and didn't look human.

That is pretty freaky.

Ok, hope I don't sound too crazy but one time we were lying down in bed and the light was low and he started to try to hug me and his face looked almost reptilian like. It was really bizarre. I kept trying to focus my eyes on his face and it was like morphing or something. But like I said the light was really low so maybe it was just my imagination. But then why would I imagine that? I just remember being repulsed and thinking he was snake-like. I couldn't get that image out of my mind for some time.
