* TheDitherer: Nabiki and Kasumi both understand to different degrees that Akane and Ranma's relationship is abusive. While they do try to talk to Akane about her actions, her sisters overall take far too long to actually do anything substantial to help Ranma. Nabiki hopes that Kasumi will fix things, while Kasumi privately admits she has no idea how to make this better.



* EveryoneHasStandards: Even Nabiki and Ryouga both realize that Akane's going too far in her treatment of Ranma, and want Akane to stop or Ranma to just leave. Ranma's own mother initially thinks he needs to treat Akane better, but she's also shocked when he makes her understand that he hasn't done anything to upset his wife.



* HonorThyAbuser: Deconstructed. It's discussed how a lot of abuse victims don't want or can't leave their abusers. In Ranma's case he doesn't want to leave Akane because he doesn't want to break the vow he made, even as others urge him to get the hell out as Akane's beatings become more violent.



* ItsAllAboutMe: Akane absolutely refuses to see things from Ranma's point of view, repeatedly telling him to stop doing things that make her angry despite that he's not doing anything. Even when he asks her what he's done to upset her so much, she never answers and makes their "problems" all his fault in her mind or invents reasons to hurt him.



** However, this is played directly with Akane, who becomes enraged when she finds out that Ranma is attending a support group, and even more so when she is told that he has a mental illness and must see a psychiatrist, causing her to hospitalize Ranma for second time and when he wakes up he tells him not to attend the group again.

* AxCrazy: The entire story gives a CerebusRetcon to Akane's {{tsundere}} attitude as an undiagnosed and untreated explosive anger disorder, which only worsens after she marries Ranma. This makes her an abuser within a domestic abuse scenario that Ranma cannot deal with due to the {{double standard}} (he can join an anti-abuse support group, but first he has to prove his curse so they don't reject him, and that's as far as you can get "official" help) and the titular "bitter end" happens when Akane [[MistakenForCheating encounters Ranma with one of his floozies]] (Ukyo Kuonji talking to him as two old friends and that is all it was) with a katana within arm's reach.

When Ukyo decides to take Ranma away from Akane for his safety and Ranma is finally forced to admit that perhaps he and Akane should no longer be married, Akane appears at the moment of his decision and explodes in fury at what she interprets as final incontrovertible proof of Ranma's infidelity towards her. What comes next...

Added DiffLines:

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Due to her untreated psychological problems, this becomes Akane's standard response to ''anything'' she finds annoying or threatening. [[spoiler: And it culminates in the rage-driven fugue state she enters at the climax of the story upon discovering that Ukyo is basically trying to rescue Ranma from her.]]
