Why do women stay in abusive relationship .... once i asked this lady why she stay with somebody's like that .. she said to me "he beats me cause he loves me " am not lashing out on the males alone you got females who beats the hell out of their mates ....

truly abusive relationships (omitting the ones that are blown out of proportion over one or two incidents),,,,often emerge from situations where the abused partner is isolated and made to feel like noone else will care about them

they are willing to believe anything the abuser says because they become emotionally dependent upon the abusers presence in their life

there are also those with just genuininely good and naive spirits who cant help but continue hoping for improvement because they love the abuser so much

Loving somebody who beats the crap out of you is like signing your own death certificate people need to wise up

Why do people who get nabbed end up falling for or sympathyzing with their abductor (stockholm syndrome)? Mental issues and experiences, hope for change, fear, many reasons. I don't bother trying to understand.

Because they have no self esteem left and have agreed that they either deserve the beating or are not good enough to be with one who doesn't abuse them..or both, usually both and a whole lot more. Issues!

I think, usually when people are being severely abused, they feel scared to leave and insecure about being able to make it on their own

Well they are scared, of course..they live their lives in fear of another beating. Hard to feel secure about anything with that hanging over your head. No self esteem will make one not feel confident about anything. My mom stayed for 20 years because she was convinced she couldn't feed her kids alone...very sad.

Say you lack self esteem right .. boyfriend \husband comes home you mess up so he gets mad start fighting you ended up in hospital badly hurt you cover things up to save his azz if you can lie for him you must know right from wrong .. abusive relationships is wrong both mentally and physically

first time i got hit by a guy he was history.. he tried calling me collect that nite from jail i had him block from calling.. there is no way i would allow any man abuse me and get away with it

If he hit you once chances are he will do it again and again

When I was 20, my husband would become inebriated and after a passionate argument, he would push or shove me, until one night he assaulted me to where I went to a hospital.

I moved out temporarily, and gave him a chance to make amends,,,which he did by completing EVERYTHING the court had ordered and going to counseling for a full year. We never had another altercation. I think people can make mistakes,, even these types, and sometimes it may be the best thing one can do to forgive and give another chance, but only if that chance is appreciated and earned. I had more wonderful memories with that man, before and after that incident,, than I have with any and every other man combined since. ....

i would say from past experience myself... fear, dedication, hope, love....also lack of experience.... i would never do it again...no one like that is worth loving.. though when i did not know and was already in love i still had that hope, fear, and dedication.. though i know now from experience i sure would not judge others in that situation.. i would give them advice if asked.. i would not turn my back on them for their own individual decisions.. the time will come when they are ready to leave no matter how scared they are.. that is their choice..

My ex slapped me one time so I slapped her back. I was told you never hit a woman ever when I was younger. Eventually we just accepted that we both control freaks and the second divorce worked better than the first divorce because we are still divorced.

Just don't think a man that constantly beats a woman deserves to be loved ...

Yeah. I would agree. I mean if they make you that angry then you really need to get out of that relationship because it will just get worse.

It doesnt always get worse,, people can change, they just have to WANT to change... a man who feels justified and doesnt try to change is one to be feared, but one who can be truly remorseful can change,, and often they do

Know of cases women the bread winner of the family husband\boyfriend stays home with kids and keep the house .. they get abuse too most of them .

yea, I'll never understand it either. Getting the crap beaten out of you is a sign of disrespect, not love. If a guy ever violently lays a hand on me he is signing HIS death certificate. I won't put up with that sh#t.

guys that beat up on there girlfriends or wifes make men like me and others that really care and what to be love and r very great people look back and that woman that comes a cross us will think we are the same way and really have fear of all me they meet would do the same thing there ex's had done

I would kick my son's butts if they ever hit a woman, even if she hit first...and they know it. They have been taught to walk away.
