You don't have low self esteem in a marriage until you get hit on all the time. Men like you too, would make woman run away. Being in an abuseive relationship is hell, I am italian and catholic and my family beliefs we don't get divorced. You just put up with all his shit, and you take it. Now You get strength to walk away but after sometime of the hell. but you do. I am a strong person, but until you walk in any womans shoes who have gone through this don't make remarks on what kind of woman we are.

When you say "hit on all the time" do you mean "hit all the time"

there's a big difference....

I think you have a point sweetness. you said " I am an attractive woman, fun to b around and nice person" you hit the nail on the head. your nice.. so they are nice at first then they break you down..
I can't stand abusive people men or women it's cruel whether physical or mental. And for you sweetness because your so "nice" I think you tend to look to the good in everyone. I have the same problem. Thus we get crapped on. JMO

I mean every other day . thrown in bathtubs. etc.....
I totally want to change this subject, because it does upset me to think about it. And you seem like a nice guy, and it is great that you have never been through this.

That sucks.. and no.. I'm not a nice guy.. and yes I have been through a relationship with a physically abusive partner.


Kinda makes you a tad distrustful of people after that.

just wondering

what type of women do abusive men seek out?

again only wondering


I would think the answer is...No particular type of woman. They are going to abusive to all women they are in a relationship with. I am guessing it is not something they can turn off and on.

The ideal situation is for the women to get out of the relationship at the first sign and not stay in it to the point where the abusive guys knows too much. Like how many her friend and family can really help the woman and how many will just stand idling by give advice.

But I don't think they seek a particular type of woman.

UNFORTUNETLY I know from experience they go for the loniest ones.... when someone is lonely they will love anyone that loves them. But a woman should never low her expectations to a man that will a lay a hand on her in a harmful way...

That is a really tough question. I don't think abusive men seek a particular personality trait in a woman or even seek a woman with intentions of harming her. The better question is if a man is abusive towards a woman, why would she not at least leave him?
