The woman does not have any place to go and they do not know what to do. They do not have a home and do not know where to turn. There are always shelters for battered and abused women that you can turn to.

They Think It’s Their Fault

From time to time, women think that they caused the problems. They think the reasons their husband or boyfriend cheated on them is because they did not spend enough time with them or did not do something right. Therefore, they believe it’s their fault.

I was with a guy for a year and a half throughout it all he cheated on me, got photos of/sent them to, flirted with, had relationships with any girl he came across and i stayed with him through out it all.... then i went on holiday came back he had cheated with two of my friends and ran off with my best friend, lets just say i stayed single for nearly two years and havnt had a best friend since. Im so glad my guy im with now is devoted to me in every way possible and we have been together nearly two years now, he is the one i will get married too i hope.

scared of been alone ,single. Also not wanting to hurt your partner. You think he'll change his cheating ways but deep down you know e wont but your to kind to leave him. Also you feel trapped. Or they have mentioned before if you leave they will take your child.

i think it is true but not for all here we have lots of complements and nature which fefined different and .... call me llllllllllllll

Janine I absolutely understand it. Its really hard.

Staying because of the children would have been my main 1 too. It is so difficult when there are kids involved.
