Whenever I hear new stories about more women trying to justified being abused (''Maybe I provoked him, I sometimes start things'') or cheated as well as those waiting endlessly for their live-in bf to propose it makes me want to quit college and get them into a training session about learning how to love and respect themselves.
However, I don't see too many many men putting up for years with that same exact BS those women seem to tolerate. Most would be already packing their bags on the first incidence of abuse/mistreatment or if he senses she doesn't want a more deeper commitment/marriage (never heard of a man getting string along for year... only to women this seems to happen).
I don't see what's so terrible about being single. If for whatever reason, I can't find a quality man then being single is the answer. I'd rather be alone than be with someone that mistreats me and go with the ''But what will people say''. I don't care what will people say. I refuse to be mistreated or strung along.
Nope. Men slide into abusive relationships just as much as women do. They just don't publicly admit to it because it isn't socially acceptable for them to be victim to a woman. Male rape victims and domestic abuse victims are the least likely to come forward.

Yes, it can happen too but not at the same rate as women. Also, at one point, some men will eventually get tired of her abuse and either leave her or retaliate and face jail time.
Also when was the last time it was heard about a man that was ready to be married and the woman stringing him along for years??? Maybe 1 or 2 cases but I doubt it that happens too often as much as women seem to have experienced at one point, mainly when moving in with their bf.

I don't think women that stay in abusive relationships or who are attracted to men that are violent do it because of empathy, they do it because they crave the thrill of an unstable person/relationship.
Tolerating abuse is not being submissive. It's being dysfunctional. Big difference.
As for the OP, I don't think empathy has anything to do with it. Empathy is the ability to recognize and feel what someone else is feeling. Most non-dysfunctional people may be able to recognize that someone is throwing a fit because a partner did not turn all of the cans label-forward like in Sleeping with the Enemy, but they would not be able to understand or feel such ire in the same situation themselves.

I think just as many men get stuck in bad relationships and get used just as much as women do. I just think they flip out and call the woman unsavory names and make themselves look like the @sshole when they come out of the relationship.
