One of the problems is that men tend to stay in abusive relationships. In the past, they would even be far too 'embarrassed' to report abuse (due to society pressures and biases) but in the case of psychological abuse (arguably as bad in its own way) men tend to believe they should just 'take it' and 'learn to live with it'.
As if they were somehow 'being a man' by living with the psychologically and emotionally abusive wife.
Sadly, we see things haven't quite changed enough. It still goes on and just take a look at BB as a kind of 'microcosm'.
