Most people fear being murdered by strangers but in actual fact the person a woman and her children should most fear is her partner. A woman is more likely to suffer depression, abuse and rape after starting a relationship and yet millions of women each year subscribe to the fairy tale of starting a relationship and marriage. Why do women feel they can work against the odds?

i think you miss-read the stats mate, 2/3 murders are domestic. it doesnt mean that 2/3 of women living with partners are gonna get hacked up by the fella! there are plenty of people who live happily with their partners and enjoy a good family life and lots of sex. thats why women live with men. and also they usually provide finacial support in most cases.

Statistics can be scewed to 'prove' anything depending on your starting premise. Most murders are of a domestic nature..................but given the millions of families that is still a small %age. By the way 'domestic' does not just include the partner...........it also includes fathers, uncles, cousins.
By the way.........your comment "millions of women each year subscribe to the fairy tale of starting a relationship and marriage"............fails to recognise that for women to aspire to that their needs to be an equal number of males aspiring to the same to make marriages possible in the first place.

cos women suffer from insecurities and we think a home and a partner is the answer to all the happiness in the world
UNTIL we get into a relationship and realise that life is not a bed of roses.
BUT some women learn quick and dont make it a habit
they move on and chose a better partner next time
because by now they have become expert in what not to buy
but others keep buying the same old clothes that dont fit them
these women NEVER learn and are the children of these women suffer from insecuruties and depression etc

Well couldn't have thought of an answer to this this question few months back...
but you are right...I thought of a fairy tale marraige too...love and more love..I did my best to make it work...
you know its very difficult to accept that this is happening with you ......start also making compromises to make it work...but the more you compromise the more it it gets worse...
and the big problem it that abusers show a roller coster behavior...they are extremely caring and loving after their acts and become genuinely sad if you don't forgive them...and they show that they will do anything for you...can you imagine you have the fairy tale hero beside you who will do anything for you....and when they are violent all truns upside down...
you can leave them only in the heat of the moment just after the abuse...and if you are out....
it becomes so difficult to forget all the things they did for you...You see they do for their partner more then what other guys who don't abuse would do...
mine was highly romantic ...besides the abuse everything was so fairy tale like...
so its very difficult to forget...and you tend to develop that feeling of giving them another chance...
I am going through it....I walked out 2.5 months back but it never did occur to me that it was abusive relationship ..as I had never heard about it...as I had no experience...only few days back I realized...
I hate him for days and then again I feel madly in loe with him...but I have decided to go with my brains...
its very complicated...
I coudnt answer myself whyI feel love for a person who hurt me so much..
may be some phsychologist has an answer to that

Well it's not exactly against the odds is it. Billions of women live with men and don't get murdered, even if the relationship breaks down.

I know hundreds of men. Not one of them is a murderer. Its not against the odds, statistically speaking they probably wont get murdered.
