What Could Make A Woman Stay With A Man Who Doesn't Care If She Lives Or Dies? 7/2/2008 10:51:20 PM
A few days ago one of my male friends sent me this comment. It took me a few day to get over the initial shock of it before I decided to post it in a blog...
This is his comment...
I have a ? for you, now maybe u can help me. A little while ago my younger sis, (she's 29 and a twin) was abused by her husband, and I just don't mean slapped, I mean beat with a hammer! She was in a comma for two days, got out, back on her feet, and after about 8 months later she went back to him!
When she went back they were in bed and he told her, "I TRIED TO KILL U" and laughed it off, but she still stayed. She was dropping the charges. If it weren't for the state he would be out!
IS THERE SOMETHING I'M MISSING? What makes a woman go back or stay with a person that pretty much could care less if they live or die! The only reason they're not together now is because he went to prison. The state picked it up.
SIGNED " IS IT REALLY LOVE"...
It took me a few days to think about this one, for one, I was in shock since I know this man quite well. And I could understand his turmoil. Having something like this happen to your loved one can make you want to commit a serious crime. But it also makes you question a woman's sanity.(No, I'm not saying his sister is crazy) But women who allow themselves to be treated this way, are usually not in a healthy state of mind.
We see it everyday...right now one of my girlfriend's is on bed rest because she had an anxiety attack at work a few days ago. The cause of it...Stress! From worrying about where her man is, why hasn't he called, who is he with that could cause him not to want her anymore.
So now, she's sick, and because her blood pressure was up, they took her off work for a couple of weeks, which is causing her to loose money and on top of that, she now has unnecessary medical bills that she can't afford to pay. And in the meantime, her so called man is still...MIA!
I don't know if some women will ever learn that it's not love when a so called "man" puts his hands on you!
What these women see in these men, I will never understand.
A few months ago I posted a blog called "Finding The Courage To Walk Away...(with your dignity and LIFE intact)" so most of you already know how I feel about abusive relationships, but I do want to pose this question to all of you for my friend!
What Could Make A Woman Stay With A Man Who Doesn't Care If She Lives Or Dies?..
This question is not gender related... I want to hear from the men as well as the women. If you've ever know someone who's been there, what was the reason they stayed?
