One word, Nicotene.
I’ve heard of Nicotine, but what is this Nicotene you speak of?

I do agree with the above posts. Sweetie...it really is a self-esteem issue. You can continue to stay with this man and you may have moments of bliss but then it will go back to the times that you feel heart broken and abused. Just remember this is YOUR relationship. It probably started out like this but you weren't paying attention.

From my experience, the issues that you are seeing now in your relationship that could potentially cause it to end, were there very early on when the relationship began but you ignored the red flags. Your relationship with this man will go on as long as you allow it to. Until you've had enough, you will continue on in the same story. It's not easy and it is an addiction. However, you've got to really, really love yourself and want more for yourself. You have to believe that you deserve to be treated like the wonderful woman you are.

Women are hard wired to love cleaning up messes.

Life has enough struggles anyone who needs that whitin a relationship to be entertained is a whackjob people should steer clear of Man or Women...

Though i think some of this bad boy stuff is bs and just some stupid movie character women were attracted to that doesnt exist..
Drama is very important to a lot of women. There are some women that don't want/need it, but they are the exception, not the rule.

And no doubt, her daughter is watching these events, and as a very, very high chance of following in her mom's footsteps.

Ummm no my daughter is not watching these events.

She does not need to know what is going on in my personal life like that.

If there's an absence of male stability in her life, I'm not sure if that's going on, but if it is, it will very likely cause her to have "daddy issues"a nd she will no doubt follow in your footsteps despite not "seeing it"

I really have no idea what women see in "bad boys". Personally I have never not once ever been attracted to anyone who was like that.

There is a lot to be said for nice guys and I can't help but feel they get a lot of bad press for being "dull" and "boring" . A nice guy is a very precious thing. I would take a good man any day over any bad boy. I want a man for a start, not a boy. I have no interest in people who are selfish, self centered and narcissists and who think having a bad attitude and no morals make them somehow interesting.

I think a lot of it is a self esteem issue, some women seem to expect being abused as part of a relationship. I personally prefer someone who is kind, loving and caring as well as interesting, intellectually curious and interested in other things than his own navel.

The most interesting guys I have known have all been good guys. What on earth is so special about someone who treats you like dirt ? Being a jerk and jack-ass means nothing more than trouble and quite frankly life is too short to bother with jerks.

like this post. many young women see them as "real men", but bad boy is a perfect descriptoon. men with morals, careers, future plans, and mortgages usually dont sit in jail for starting bar brawls. i think the women who chase them are just as bad, and any guy who cleans up the mess these women make is a sucker.
