Why Do Women Stay In Abusive Relationships

Please do let us discuss this because I don't understand.
The #1 reason is fear, they say.

lol , so they say. what a pathetic traveshamockable excuse.

the feminist women who are here incarcerating men should be the advocates pushing for advancement in both categories.  You shouldn't eat your cake and have it.
If they plan on being civil, they should know that part of being civil includes understanding that an abusive relationship can lead to a fatal ending & it's often best to take the fastest exit out.  If they don't want to be civil, they should understand that there are certain rules/guidelines their culture(s), or religion(s), expect them to abide by; when these rules become a burden, they should speak out & act against them.

I'm all for revolution.  If civil rights movements & others hadn't revolted against the slavery institution(even though it was being falsley preached that slavery is normal), we'd still be in trouble by now.

If you believe it's ok to beat a kid who has done something wrong,
it's easy to justify the idea of a man beating his (younger) wife who "has done something bad".

Where?  There are only one or two of them here, and they both raised abroad.  Feminism is nonexistent in Nigeria.

You are right, they only pretend to be feminists.

What of men who endure verbal and emotional abuse from their wives?

To each her own . . every victim of an abusive marriage/relationship has her own story to tell and reasons to give.

Some are there because they "think" they love the man, what nonsense love, right? but yes, love can be quite stupid and blind atimes.
Some do it for the sake of their kids, don't want them growing without a father, or thinking the kids will hate them when they grow up for leaving their dad
Some do it because they're scared of being alone, they can't imagine living without a man
Some do it because they lack the courage and self-will to walk away, afraid of the unknown
Some are there because they think he'll turn a new leaf the next minute and that if they continue hoping, just maybe he'll come around
Some can't do without the feeling of being Mrs., desperation to be seen as a married woman
Some do it because of morals, who hopes for a broken marriage anyway?
Some don't want to sit back and watch another woman take over their man, they feel its milder if he goes out to meet her than having her move out of the house and give liberty to the "other" woman

And then yes there are those who are scared of dissappointing the society, being a disgrace to family and not living up to other friends who of course are still married!!    (But its not the  only reason, because some whites find themselves in same situation, and believe me most of them don't treat it any better, I'm sure they're not out to please the society, the society couldn't care less)

its a sad story, but thats just how the cookie crumbles . . . .

I have no Idea how cute ass came about those reasons but damn!! That about sums it up,

Except she missed out a very important point too,

Some are still there because they like being abused,  Thats the mentality they have bout how a relationship should be,  Maybe they themselves grew up in a house where daddy whooped and abused mummy's ass all day long and mummy never complained or moved out!!
See , 

So who really cares why they remain in abusive relationships,  what about men who put up with abusive wives ,  abi na only man fit abuse woman??

"darling, i 4give u afterall because anything is better than being alone" some ladies just don't know any better.  

you said it all dear. you are very right.
But like Ess said, some women loves to be abused and then later the man come begging, that makes them feel good.
"darling am sorry for what happend" nonsense!!

Let's just say for some ladies, it spices things up! i get thwacked 2day and then i get cuddled the nextday or maybe some hot making-out thereafter.  very crazy!
