Why would a lady or man go from one domestic violence relationship to another

First an event occurs where the abuser feels anger, resentment, etc. Second, the abuser expresses that verbally, physically emotionally. If it ended there, the person who was abused would just clear off like a shot [b]but [/b]then the abuser starts with all that feeling guilty nonsense, 'sorry, sorry, I'll never do it again', false promises, blah, blah, blah. The abuser begins the make up stage, for the women, it's the flowers, the bracelet, and for the men, the angle-grinder, the new oil change for his Dodge charger! All is hunky-dory! The abused person feels great. An undeniable feeling of elation, a massive surge of intense emotion gripping the whole being in an almost fever-like frenzy!! Of course, in many cases the abuse starts all over again. Some abused people continue this cycle because of the desire to relive that tremndous surge of emotion which, to them, symbolises love and affection!
