How can a woman

claim to love and want to stay with a man who treats her like property, mistreats her physically/ verbally/ mentally/ emotionally, is jealous and distrusts her, ignores and neglects her, and/or cheats on her repeatedly? Shed some light on this for me ladies and help me understand.

She may be financially dependant on him. If they have children together she may not want to take them away from their home or not have anywhere safe for them to go.
She may be scared - often the risks of abuse or worse rise massively when a woman tries to leave a controlling or abusive relationship.

@SW-User I can understand fear...that makes sense.
