I have a really good friend who I think is going to end up being beat up by her bf. He has already grabbed her iphone5 and slammed it against the wall, busting it to a million pieces and then cheated on her that same night. He did this all because she got a text from an old bf that she is still friends with. This guy has verbally abused my friend, and has called her a trashy whore among other things.

Well last night I had a business meeting with a lady who is in hiding from her husband. I help people who are disabled get gov benefits. Her husband is a drug dealer who has verbally and physically abused her. He has punched her out and pistol whipped her even. She has a restraining order on him. He is in jail right now for violating the restraining order. She told me she still loves him and prays that God will save their marriage.

I don't understand how a woman could allow a man to abuse them in any way and remain in the relationship.

Because they are delusional because they are in love and think that that is all they can get.

Usually it's women who have REALLY low self-esteem and think they can't do any better or they make themselves believe they can change their man.

Another reason is because they are financially dependent on their abuser. It's really sad.

The guy probably has money, and they figure a few bruises are better than working for a living

This right here.

Also add in the fact that they may be even more afraid of breaking it off or going to the police for fear of even worse reprisal. It's some sad shite.

That's why men who abuse their wives/girlfriends are right down at the bottom of the barrel in my book along with rapists and child molesters.

The emotional abuse they are subject to rivals the physical abuse they receive. Men who abuse women assert complete control. They control the money (even her money), her movements, her relationships with family and friends, everything. This makes it very difficult for her to leave.

It's tougg to see. You just have to hope they realize there are resources out there to help them.

There isn't any one answer here. Sometimes it's depression, and it's just fulfilling the view they have of themselves. Other times, it's what they get off on, the submissive fantasy lived out in real terms. It can also be fear that he will find out she is leaving and hurt her.

The woman I meet with last night has two girls by another man. She fears for her children, yet, she is aware that she is vulnerable to being manipulated by him into returning. But what fascinated me was how you could tell she genuinely loves the guy. Love is a very strange thing!
