Why would he change? He's doing what he wants to do, he feels no need to control himself. He would rather not control himself. He controls himself at work, he controls himself in public, I assume since he's not in jail. He chooses not to control himself at home because he sees no need to and no advantage to himself to do so.
Nice guys don't hit their significant others.
If you have children with this man, he may likely hit them. If he doesn't, he'll still be teaching the girls that it's ok to get hit and the boys that it's ok to hit. Your sons will grow up not respecting their mother or other women. Your daughters will grow up thinking they don't deserve respect.
I know you don't want to lose what you have. But that's a heck of a price for your children to pay.
