Why Are Some Women So Daft ?

[Canary42]

Guy gets jailed for assaulting his girl friend on three separate occasions.

When he comes out of jail she resumes the relationship and they get engaged. Further assault takes place in the same month they got engaged.

Now he's back in jail for this more serious assault, and she's lucky to be alive.

Will she get back with him again when he gets out this time ?

This has puzzled me as well, for a long time now. If any partner of mine were to use violence more than once, that would the end of the relationship for sure.

More than once Mikey? For me, were it ever to happen, that would be it.

As advised, especially by those with direct personal experiences – abusive relationships are never as simple as they look for the rational outside. Most people have sufficient self-belief and support to avoid this type of experience. But there will always be inadequate vulnerable women who gravitate towards strong controlling men, and then lack the will or ability to break free.

It is easy for those of us with secure loving relationships to imagine that it is simply a matter of saying no, and walking out, but as described, life in these relationships is never ever that simple.

At least this monster cannot hurt anyone for a long time.

Amen Andy but I think 'inadequate' could be rethought, too judgemental. Unconfident....isolated.....uninformed. We're all inadequate at some point or another.

Canary thanks for that acknowledgement. It's good to see this discussion :)

[ummmm]

I think some people, like Mikey, really do not understand how things are, especially when kids are involved.

You get isolated, probably have no control of money, shame and embarrassment has stopped you confiding in anyone and you have small children to think about, their home, their belongings.

Then add to that how these bullies destroy confidence, make you feel worthless etc etc...

Are you suppose to pack your bags, no money, no friends, nowhere to go, take your kids and then what?

[ummmm]

To add...these abusers do not always pick convenient times to beat their spouses...you know, the council offices might be shut!

You are quite right Mosaic - careless writing - withdrawn with sincere apologies to all on the thread.
