okay I'm going to ignore that last statement. I used to have the same question of why don't you just leave but now that I have experienced what it is like to be in an abusive relationship I believe I understand how it feels. throughout my experience I was afraid that he would find me and kill me or kill himself if I left. he threatened it often and although I was scared out of my mind I still felt empathy towards him and didn't want him to kill himself. he used manipulative tactics to make me afraid and pity him. I was also scared that the situation I was in was my fault even though my life was threatened. he used some of the same brainwashing techniques that cults use such as scaring me and then making sure that he was my only source of comfort. TW for this part, an example of this is how he would hold a gun to his head in front of me and I would stay up all night trying to talk him out of it. at that point I was so mentally exhausted and couldn't tell my parents because obviously I was ashamed so I had to lean on him for comfort even though he was the cause of my distress. I wanted to leave but didn't feel like I had the option. I hope that clears it up for you! next time try phrasing your question in a less rude way!

You’re looking at the surface. From what I’ve gathered they stay out of fear, believing the threats. These woman usually have a background of abuse. Either witness or experience, but not always. It’s programmed into most of them, a warped sense of norm. They’ve never experienced a healthy relationship. It becomes a cycle as they keep finding the same type of men due to their “norm”.
It's a puzzle for the ages!!
This case, though, sounds like Stockholm Syndrome!
"He beats me!'
"LEAVE HIM!!"
"I CAN'T!!'
"WHY NOT?"
"Because I LOVE HIM!!"
"Okay, SUFFER!"
If I was with someone abusive, you can bet your tits, either I'd be out the door in a flash or they would!! Even mom said a number of times: "If a man EVER hits me, he better make it count because he'll NEVER get a second chance!!".
Women love being abused, they secretly strive to be dominated this is why they always come crawling back to their abusers. They say they want nice men yet they have no problem taking a few head punches.

being manipulated by your partner when you're in love with them is so easy. and most of the times the person doesn't even realize they're being abused, regardless of what happened with the guy and the girl whose video you added, it's not right to assume every woman wants to be "beaten up"? no one would want that. you're so inconsiderate.
Some out of fear. Some they are economically trapped. I do feel some were abused or around abuse growing up and this causes them to seek out and want abuse.
They lack intelligence. More restraining orders are against men that the woman thinks he "might" do something harmful, but the ones that actually do harm them, the women often stay with them.
I had an uncle who was a cop and he tole me that the sadists always find the masochists.
LOL. "oh he is so hot look at his mucles" That is why women are with abusers. They don't go for good men. They get what they deserve if you ask me. I laugh when I see these stories
Masochism. You believe you deserve it so you stay.
Stockholm syndrome.
