Why would some woman stay in abusive relationship just to be in a relationship or for the romance?

It depends on the woman,her background, as well as her perception of what love is, and her self esteem or lack there of. People also tend to stay with "what they know". A woman may have grown up in a household where she saw her dad abuse her mom and they never got divorced.

Some see jealousy/rage as proof that someone loves them. Others who lack financial independence as well as self confidence often stay because they don't believe they have any other options. However I have heard of some women who were the sole "breadwinners" assume the "powerless role" in a relationship.

Lastly there are some who are afraid to leave because they may be killed. A "restraining order" is not bullet proof.

Our society rightfully spends a great deal of time focussed on handling the abuser. However we need to find a way to help these types of women (heal mentally as well help them find ways to love and respect themselves). (It takes two to create an abusive relationship.) The best advice is to end the relationship the FIRST time you see violent rage even if it's being applied to a wall, chair, or other object.

It's only a matter of time until it's you that getting hit. Verbal abuse and put downs are often a precursor of things to come. Generally speaking if one walks away early on there is less odds of having a deadly ending.

Unfortunately most women are raised to believe in "second chances" or worse (They can change him). Others mentally hang onto "the good times" or believe it's their fault when he explodes...etc Bottom line, if you love yourself abuse is a "deal breaker" period.

To be honest I can't really understand it myself. But most cases I would say they stay out of fear of the unknown. Fear of not having a place to go, and most of them, for their children because if they leave the home, the children will have to stay with the father and thus be exposed to the violence by themselves.As for women who stay in abuse relationships when they are not married.. well.. love can be very very very blind and stupid.. obviously.

From the situations I've met I think they actually believe them when they apologize and think it's always gonna be the last time.

Personally... I couldn't stay in a relationship like that.. but I'm only one woman.. there are many milion besides me.

Leaving an abusive relationship is the most dangerous thing for the abused woman to do. The perpetrator often gets extremely violent when he feels he is losing control of the relationship. Many women are killed when they leave their abusive partners.

Society does not have enough supports in place for this dangerous transition in a woman's life. Many times, domestic shelters have waiting lists, and their time allotments for abused women to live at them are too narrow.

Instead of judging these women, we need to be helping them. They need support, protection, financial stability, and hope, as they tread into a dark, dangerous period of their lives.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
