[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an older experienced male that has never figured out the abuse pattern thing.  I have taken a position on it though.

Long story made short.
A BF had his live-in GF in the front yard at 2 am.  Had her by the hair with a .45 magnum pointed at her head threatening to kill you "bitch" blah blah blah .   
I heard this thru my window, ran outside nude other than underwear.  Was fresh out of the military with combat experience with a LOT of gun experience.  Grabbed my gun and ran up to within perhaps 30 ft where I could pick him off.  Told him to freeze or I'd kill him.  I didn't have to kill him, but many times since thought perhaps I should have.  I took her to a female friends house till the cops arrived.  She left her BF for maybe a wk.  Moved back in with him.  That's when my attitude completely changed.

Another incident.
Walking out of upper end Country Club Restaurant next night after my wife and I were married.  A couple were arguing in parking lot.  He had her arm twisted behind her back crying.  We walked right by.  My wife and I haven't spoken about it all these years.  I think she lost a little respect for me.  I OTOH was so demoralized from the first incident, that I just couldn't stomach getting involved knowing it would do no good in the long run.  Knowing that the woman chose him and will likely continue to choose him.

I'm sorry ladies.  I just can't get involved anymore to protect you and put myself at risk knowing it will do no good.  I'm really really sorry.  I do feel bad about it.

OTOH, if you're a woman that's being attacked by a stranger, then I will risk everything including my life to protect you, under any circumstance at all.  I will be the first man in the parking lot to jump all over his shit.[/quote]

I don't get this attitude. Do good for the sake off doing good. Not to get rewarded by someone else's changed behavior.[/quote]

He did. He risked his own life to possibly save hers and she went back to the asshole. I don't understand why women go back to their abusers either. [/quote]
