Having finished ACOMAF last night, I have this to say.
1 - Tamlin isn’t sorry he abused Feyre. He’s just sorry that she left because of it. It’s obvious he isn’t sorry about how he actually acted because of how he treats her in the last two scenes we see her in.
2 - Because of the politics happening right now, there’s not enough room for Tamlin to redeem himself on such a personal level since the abuse aspect of his character arc is so divorced from the actual war going on.
3 - He’s so immature and oblivious, I don’t think anything Feyre could do in the next book would make him change what made him abusive to begin with.
4 - Because these books are in large based on The Black Jewels by Anne Bishop, I’m almost positive Tamlin will never get over the idea that anything Feyre does or says that he doesn’t like, or any opinions she has that don’t mesh with his view of her, is a direct result of mind-rape by Rhysand.
5 - Even if by some miracle he managed to pull his head out of his butt and stop being such a dick and let Feyre go, that doesn’t make up for the things he did separate from his obsession with Feyre - like the lion-queen, and Tamlin’s treason, and Cas, and her sisters, all that stuff. And the only thing in that that he’s sorry for is the sister-bit.
6 - Although I love Sarah J. Maas, I don’t think she has the literary skill at this point to fix Tamlin even if she wanted to.
