[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. They're stupid
2. They're inexperienced with men
3. Low self esteem
4. A combo of any of the above three[/quote]

And 5. They watched their dad or male family members treat women badly. [/quote]

I am none of these things!  And my dad is great.  I have probably a few things that are different that I could identify:

1. It came on gradually over years and he has many good qualities and often treated me great.
2.  My parents had a good relationship, married for 70 years, and I just don’t think I really had a good reference point for recognizing red flags. 
3. I’m a really easy-going forgiving person who is also a hard worker.  People always said relationships are hard work so I just kept working harder!  Also, I’m pretty confident and independent so felt I could handle or make up for his shortcomings.
4. There were a variety of health and circumstantial issues that led me to excuse behavior that I should not have.  
5. Unplanned pregnancies and special needs children—turns out I am crazy fertile and the smallest birth control slip will get me pregnant.  
Anyway, I think we do women a disservice when we say that only damaged women end up with men who treat them poorly.  [/quote]
