Other reasons? I wouldn't have a clue... my freshman roommate's girlfriend had lived on a farm all her life and was incredibly naive. It was the only reason I could come up with as to why she stayed with the douche. She did all of his laundry, cleaned, cooked, etc... and he was still a douche. She just didn't know any better.
I'm in the group that's saying "just don't be a doormat," which to a 'nice guy' means "be a little bit of an asshole". Low self esteem is the only reason I can come up with as to why anyone would stay with someone that's an asshole to the point of being abusive (physically or otherwise). |
Some girls are old fashioned in that they don't mind doing stuff like that. I used to throw his laundry in with mine, especially when I needed to make a load. I guess it's just the luck of the draw if you're gonna get someone who won't take advantage of that.
