I'm somewhat conflicted. I've seen my share of Maury Povich. I've seen hot babes get smacked around by the ugliest guys and stick around. Now, I'm not saying that's part of a healthy relationship, it certainly isn't!
But I can't reconcile that with the subject of this thread. I remember an episode of Dr Phil where this woman was getting verbally abused by this guy. She probably could have had anyone, yet she chose to stick around and be belittled by this prick. Swear to god, she wanted to have his baby. My question is why?
Is it an emotional response?
It is a self esteem issue?
Attraction is not a choice. And it's not at all about what may logically seem like GOOD emotions, either. I think that's kind of a completely unrelated topic, though. xfman was talking about how women see sex, and you're asking why women stay in relationships with shitty boyfriends.
