People who are not victims of domestic violence always wonder why women fail to just leave when they are abused. If you get first hand explanation from this women you will understand why they stay put. No amount of abuse can make them change their decision because of social and emotional factors that are more practical.

Abusive women put their men in the doghouse when they are misbehaving. And the shame these men feel is no different than that felt by battered women.

What I mean is… you probably feel uneasy and uncomfortable in social situations and don’t quite know how to take action right? The main reason you feel so uneasy is a mix of how much you have been subjected to such a situation but also how the situation relates to you.

Interestingly, I find that most people don’t strive towards having a healthy relationship. I hear women saying they just want to be happy with their partner, or they want to find their true love, or they want to be with the man of their dreams.

“Can’t you do anything right” You’ve heard that in some form or another more than once from your significant other.

You met a great guy, felt an amazing connection, went out on a few dates then you felt safe about sleeping with him.
The sex was great. You went home with stars perma-fixed in your eyes.
You were expecting him to call but your man went missing.
He hasn’t called. It’s been weeks.

Ever wonder if you are in a relationship that is really the right one for you? Or maybe something seems to be askew about the person you are dating, but you just cannot quite put your finger on what might be off about this person. Sometimes when we start a new relationship we can easily get caught up in all the new and exciting feelings we have about the other person and not notice the small details of this person who might be trying to control you.
