10 Reasons Why A Woman Will Stay In An Abusive Relationship

That’s right!
When we hear about or even actually see physical or emotional abuse inflected upon a woman, we are quick to conclude that the relationship is over.
And then, we are all shocked to see the relationship, not only continue but move into an advanced stage with a declaration of loyalty, and/or a confirmation in a marriage arrangement.

The perplexing and troubling reasons as to why a woman will continue in an abusive relationship are as varied as the sharp dangerous edges of broken glass.
In seeking an explanation, behavioral professionals would point to an absence of social consciousness, with low self-esteem issues, poor parental upbringing, and the lack of education.

However, in pursuing an answer to the question of WHY, we just asked the woman directly and we were surprised by the results:

Here are 10 reasons as to why a woman will stay in an abusive relationship:

1.  It is not his fault; I made him angry by asking him all the wrong questions, about the bills and about my mother coming to visit for the summer, so it’s really all my fault.
2.  It is true, he does and he has beaten me many time, but he apologized so lovingly and so sweetly, and he assures me that it will never happen again.  One time, he even brought me flowers and he bought me that beautiful expensive diamond bracelet I have been wanting for so long.
3. Yes, I know he has a problem with his violent rages and he does hit me from time to time, but I feel that if I continue to improve and not make him so angry, I know he will change soon or at least eventually.
4.  I know I should leave him, I am not stupid, but when he is not hitting me, he is so tender and loving.  He pays such close attention to me.  And when he touches me, it is like no other man, and the sex is beyond my wildest dreams, I know it truly is the best I have ever had or will ever have.
5. I am tired of everyone tells me to leave him and not put up with his physical and mental abuse, but remember; I cannot just think of myself, you see I don’t want my children to grow up without a father.
6. Yes, he does physically abuse the children, but I don’t say anything nor tell anyone.  I believe the children need to understand that he is their father and they must love him regardless.
7. Now after all my pregnancies, I have put on a lot of weight and I have tried so hard to get back my girlish figure but it is not easy.  So if I leave him just because he beats me, who will love me or even marry me with all my children and the way I look so ugly.
8. You don’t understand, he is a very important man in his profession, and everybody admires his work and his wonderful abilities.  He is under a lot of pressure, working to provide us with a big beautiful home, he is earning a great paying salary, with benefits, advancement and prestige.  What would every one think of me, if I spoke up, or said anything about his abuse?
9. How dare you judge me! Mind your own business!  This is our life and our privacy.  What he does and what I do or not do, is none of your concern, stay out of it!  Besides I sure someone is abusing you too!
10.  I love him so much! He is my husband after all.  He is the man of the house.  

​These reasons are from the woman’s perspective.

I am sure you have heard one or many of these answers, leaving you thinking “What is going on here”  “I don’t understand her behavior”…
