Had a rather unsettling thing today, but let me digress.
The sixth form I went to was only a small one, about 25 people in total so of course we all knew each other well and got on well. When Sixth form ended most of us went to Universities all over the country and we rarely see each other now, still see some of the old gang but most of them aren't around anymore. People lose touch, move away, live away, get jobs e.t.c.
Today, I saw someone I used to know because she was in all the same classes as me in Sixth form, we were only friends but good ones as we'd been to the same schools since infants.
I got talking to her and I was quite shocked by how she'd changed so much, and not for the better, though she didn't admit that obviously. To cut a long story short she's in a relationship where this guy frequently hurts her, but she still says she loves him. He's even put her in hospital once last year, broke her arm, but she says she won't leave him because she loves him. I'm no expert but I'm guessing you have to put serious force on someone's arm to break it.
It just baffles me why she can love someone like that ? This isn't out of jealousy or anything, I just don't like to see friends, however old, being hurt, as I'm sure all of you don't, and....... I don't know, it just troubled me somewhat. She used to look so cheerful, and bright but now..... I just find it sad.

She's scared that if she leaves him or bad-mouths him he'll hurt her further.
It's the same reason why kids that are abused or bullied rarely speak out.
Fear.
I've read things like this loads of times before and the same answer is just to leave him.
"Tell someone what's gonna happen so they can make sure you're OK and just walk out on him."
Always the same answer.

there are many different reasons for this behaviour, sheerely analytically it can be because of the fact that the woman in the relationship feels she wants to make this man better by loving him more and so that he will eventually love her back. it is in more cases than not an impossible task as there is often something wrong behaviouraly or mentally from the start. another reason is the same reason that real psychopaths get so many love letters in prison, the fact that they have a repulsive allure to them.
