The comment about 'documenting it while being beaten is stupid'...while this is fake, you do realise that even if it weren't, these women are confused, terrified and for the most part absolutely reliant on their abuser. It seems logical to an outsider with no experience or education to say that it'd be easy to leave, but even when they know they're in an abusive relationship it taken a hell of a lot of courage to leave. Don't troll about this sort of thing, that just makes you as bad as the abuser.
I never said it was stupid and I wasn't trolling. I agree it's very mentally exhausting and confusing for those who are abused to walk away from a relationship like that. I just have never seen this type of documentary.
Nonetheless, Any Man Capable OF Physically Harming A Woman In Any Way Is No Man. But Any Woman Allowing That To Go On Even After The First Attack Is Also Foolish.
I believe that at one point the woman really did love her partner, so it makes it harder for her to leave since she tries to convince herself that the man she fell in love with is still there underneath it all
Exactly. And every time he even performs a little act of kindness, she's thinks, "Aww, he's changed! I could never leave him, he's not a bad person!" It's sorta like Stockholm Syndrome in a way seeing as most victims with Stockholm System start to sympathize and be grateful to their captor after they've done something minor or after they didn't hurt them when they usually would under normal circumstances.
Of course, abusive boyfriends and kidnappers are different, but there's similarities in the psychology.
First of all stop capitalizing all your words. Second, it can be terrifying to leave an abuser because they fear it can cause more harm and anger. People in these relationships can also be dependent on their abusers.
No, you get the fuck out. This was a traumatic experience for this woman. If you've ever been abused by someone, verbally or physically, then maybe you wouldn't be such an ass right now
Ive been in that situation (didnt start really until a few months in) and its difficult when your emotions are on the line. Like why do some girls go for guys who are rude to them or why do some guys go for girls who outright ignore them. Emotions are a tricky thing to understand
