what’s up with woman who stay with men who treat them like sh*t and abuse them physically or mentally?
I mean I don’t care who he is, a man doesn’t love you if he sits there and beats the **** out of you or calls you so many names and mkes you feel worthless.
No man deserves to be with a women if they are going to do that.
Men that do that are just plain cowards!

I'm not in an abusive relationship.

But here are some reason why Abused women stay in their relationship.
---------------
Why Do Women Stay in Abusive Relationships?
The reasons women stay in abusive relationships are very complicated. There are a wide range of emotional feelings that allow the abuse to continue and prevent the woman from leaving. Here are a few reasons that women stay in an abusive relationship:

Fear - Women fear the physical harm that might come if they attempt to leave.

Love - Women may truly have deep feelings for the abusive partner.

Promises - Promises that this abuse will never happen again.

Abuse = Love - Confusion between being loved and being controlled by their partner.

Guilt - Being made to think that the abuse is their fault, that they have the problem.

Not Being Believed - A strong fear that nobody will believe them if they speak out against the abuse.

Thinking They Can Change Them - The belief that over time the woman can change the abusive partner.

Low Self-Esteem - After being in an abusive relationship there is a feeling that they can do no better than their current relationship.

Being Alone - To end the relationship could mean a loss of mutual friends, relatives and others associated with the relationship.

Financial - Money, children and no place to go also hold women in these relationships.

you know I don't know why women stay but I know that I myself have the type of personality that makes it hard to leave a bad situation...I can't really explain other than someone can beat you up so badly you eventually believe that you could do no better. And why we could stay to that point......I don't really know. Maybe we think we can handle it and that something will break eventually and things will change. I just recently made the descision to leave my husband and it was the hardest thing in the world for me to admit and he ended up doing a complete 180 and we are getting back together here soon. But now he realizes that its on our terms and not just his. I don't know if I"m answering your question really....I just know that I tend to have that same personality that people scoff at and its hard to turn around and do whats right for me ....I guess you just feel like you gotta make everyone else happy all the time.

my sis is in an abusive relationship and is married to the guy for like 9 yrs. and i think she just wants to be loved and the jealousy he has shows her that he wants her and doesn't want no one else to have her......our dad was out of the pic. alot growing up so it could be the affection of a man that she craves like most women.
