Plus every relationship has two sides. Just as a battered woman can make excuses for not having the strength to leave, the guy also has reasons for being that way too. Truth is, they are usually both bad for each other and bring out the worst. By staying and taking continual abuse you are feeding his troubles. One of them needs to break the cycle and its unlikely to be the one with the upperhand.

Which sounds a very plausible and reasonable way to look at it. However, unless you have been in that situation: what you think you will do, how you feel you would react, is often: the complete reverse. You have to have gone through to realise that it's not quite as simple as that - there are a myraid of factors that have to be built in - and before you know it, 'you're in it' - the very place you swore you'd 'kick any man into touch' with.......
I'm hardly a shy wall flower type as I'm sure you'll have guessed. If I can get suckered - anyone can!! Believe me, there's a damn sight more to it all that what you know you should do - and doing it.
