Physical abuse

Not that long ago Rihanna ,was in a physical abuse relationship with Chris Brown. I have heard of too many people being in a abusive relationship. I would never stay in one. I think she stayed in the relationship because of love or maybe she just did not want to be alone. Would you stay in a abusive relationship or would you leave? Why do you think she stayed?

Any kinda of abuse is not good and no one should stay in relationship like that . I see people stay in these relationship and always making excuse . I feel bad for Rihanna because I thought Christ and her made a cute couple . I am happy she leave the relationship and I hope she truly recover emotionally . I would not stay in a abusive relationship

We are different people and we react to different situations out of our own decisions, values, culture. Yes it is true that we can say that we should not allow ourselves to stay in such a relationship... but for many women(especially the ones dependent on their partners) would find this decision a bit harder than what most independent women would... We cannot really say what possible reasons she has, of course clear reasons would be that she does love the person and hoped that her staying with him will change Chris brown... Sometimes this is wrong - women always thinking that they can change a man. This rarely happens. One changes because they want to change... and not for any other reason. what we can only speak for is ourselves and our take on the matter. this is a serious matter, many women should know that when a relationship becomes abusive, there is no other thing better to be done than to leave the relationship and never have second thoughts... i always believed that if you forgo a man hurting you physically... he would almost always do it again...

One of the reasons that a lot of people stay in relationships which aren't good for them is because they don't believe that they have anything better that they could do. They don't feel as though they could leave the relationship because either they don't have anywhere to go or they're worried about what people think, and they don't want to have people talking about them. Some people genuinely believe that their partner will change if they apologise, but more often than not this will be a decision that they regret in the long term.

I would never stay in one too. if a guy hits me, i'll give him another chance but also tell my parents...and after that it's over.. all of us deserve someone better. I don't want to die in like that.. some people actually get killed..

There maybe a vital reason why she stayed despite of physical abuse. Love maybe.. but it will last and turn into hatred..

audrey, there is no way I would speculate/assume why Rihinna did what she did..so I am not going agree with the love or alone theory. Now as for me, I have never been in that situtation but I can say is that if I am involved in a sutation like that,I don't think I would elect to stay with an abuser for one day..especially when there is so much help these days for abused people... I don;t think that there is that much love in the world..
