Are most women afraid to leave their boyfriends because of fear?

Question

Fear that they would not find someone else and they will be lonely forever.

My best friend has been desperate in getting a boyfriend all through high school...finally in college she met this guy .....they are good together..well to an extent..but they fight alot. they have been together for 3 years now...he is christian...she is pagan...he wants kids...she doesn't....they both want marriage in their lives....but he really wants to marry a christian....She knows that the relationship is up for doom but she doesn't want to leave him..when they are on the phone..they say like 2 words to each other..that is it. She is not like a model but she is not ugly either..but she feels ugly because she claims she is too dark to find a guy and finding her current boyfriend wasn't easy.....

She is afraid to leave him because she really wants a man in her life and she is afraid that she would not be able to find a man again that would love her for her.

So then I have noticed that alot of my friends are like that..their boyfriends would flirt with other chics, would abuse them mentally and physically but they wont leave them....

Answer 3

You just answered your own question; the answer is yes; sometimes it's, also, because he's the best thing they've ever had in bed. Some women, sad to say, are too needy for their own good.

Answer 4

Mmm.... I don't think that's always why.

I think people just get complacent and lazy; its 'the devil you know".

As you get older you are less likely to "suffer fools gladly" so its entirely possible that the girls will dump these guys after they grow up a little bit more more.

Answer 5

Domestic abuse begins subtly. First with a word, then with an action, it's designed to imbued the perpetrator with ultimate control by reducing the independence and self esteem of the victim. It's major usefulness (for the perpetrator) is that it forces the slow and continuous change in the worldview of the victim to reflect the worldview of the victim (i.e. that the perpetrator is always right and knows everything and that all the bad things that happen are due to the victim (which can even include things like bad weather being blamed on the victim).

It is a major problem that affects more than a third of women at some stage during their lifetimes.

if you believe that your friends are experiencing domestic abuse, and from what you have written in your question then it is likely) then contact a women refuge or domestic violence resource centre and find out the best way to link your friends to these services (even if they are only connected through you).

Answer 6

I guess this is why so many relationships struggle on for years until someone has an affair and leaves to be with the new person.  People don't like to give up their sense of security, even when they don't have trouble attracting partners.  It takes a lot of courage to leave a long term relationship without a back up.  But many people do, once they realise the relationship is too damaged to be repaired.

Answer 7

It is not so much a woman's issue but a human issue. chick's do the same things to guy's.

  It is just that some people are scared of the unknown.

They pick the devil they already know instead of risking a devil they don't know.
