Because they have low self esteem, think that they can't survive on their own without the abuser, they have no money, they are ashamed, they have children in the relationship, they think they love them, I could go on and on...............

because they love them.....i do feel sorry for them as well but then i think they must like getting beat because they stay with them. Some women can easily leave. Others can find a way. I'm sure there are signs when you first meet the guy and women should know to get out of the relationship early. Some think they arent attractive anymore and think no man will ever want them. I honesly couldnt tell you...maybe you should talk to someone who's been in this situation.

The women get their self esteem and confidence beat down way before the actual beating takes place, this is why they don't leave. They don't think they can find anyone better and this is what they deserve. My sister in law went through the same thing for 5 years and no one could get through to her. She finally left him and never looked back and now she has a terrific life with a great man who treats her the way she should be treated. You can't change these women's minds you just have to be there for them and let them know they have a place to go to if they want to leave.

I can tell you from first hand experience most of it is NOT love. It is fear and hopelessness.
I was married to an abuser for 10 years. He is now in prison for 15 years after he strangled me and almost killed me. He was manipulative and mean. He threatened to kill me and my family if I ever left him and said his family would take away my daughter and I would never see her again. His family has a lot of money to afford attorneys fees and mine has none. He was very good at convincing me that I was ignorant, not a good mother, and a horrible wife. He even had me to the point that I thought maybe it was my fault that he got angry with him and if only i could do things right it would not be that way.
All of you that argue this have never lived with a practiced abuser. Antone who has been abused will understand my story. These guys are good and prey on females who have poor self esteem to begin with.
I was so afraid that if i left i would never see my daughter again that I would sacrifice anything to be able to stay with her and at least try and keep her safe because when i was around he took it out on me, not her.

cuz some women think they'll change others truely believe that their men hit them cuz they love them and are trying to protect them from making mistakes ( the same reason a parent would hit a child to teach them a lesson) and others jus simply cant leave b- cuz of fear or no where or way 2 go.

Some feel scared, some have kids and feel that they cannot do it by themselves. Or they don't have the self esteem to do it. some leave and others never make it out of the relationship.
