For whatever reason, some ladies like to talk to me about their problems and most concern bad relationships. Some are married and most have live-in boyfriends, I let them know that I am interested in them and would treat them better if I had a girlfriend like them, they say it would be nice to have a man like me in their life.
They are still with said abusive (emotionally or physical) boyfriends.
Weak, terrified,in love hell who can figure it all out past the freakin drama? Glad I don't have that BS in my life antmore! However, I can relate totally to the question posed. KB
Yes! Some people thrive on drama - my ex's mother has been dying since the day I met her (probably before that) and that was back in 1991. When she calls and I happen to answer the phone I have to hear all about her health problems and how this might be the last time we talk to each other, etc. She's not that old - 52 and she's been telling anyone who will listen to her for over twenty years that she's not going to live to see her next birthday. I'm still waiting!
As for girls in relationships that have "issues" - sometimes the ups and downs, the roller coaster is addictive. They don't want it but they also dont want to get off of it either. Better to be with the devil you know than the one you don't kind of mentality.

One would think so wouldn't one.
In fact it is not only women who suffer from this. One of the most ancient forms of relationship control is to make someone else think that they are so worthless that if they don't stick around you they will have no one to "lean on". People like horses are afraid of "being alone" ... so they will put up with horrendous behaviour because they at least "have someone".
Low self esteem, a vicious cycle, I love you I hate you I love you I feel sorry for them Theyre sick people and we have to understand it that way Some people think women want to be there, but its like an alcoholic or drug user they need professional help, not a normal person listening to them or trying to understand them
Some are in drama because the have a need to be the center of attention, some grow up in the situation and think it is normal, some claim love, some are afraid to leave, there are many reasons and not everyone of them are the exact same. It is sad of course, there are males that are like that also.
Hi Jay, from experience and working in the underground railroad/battered women's shelters, it's about a "Bad Love is Better than No Love Syndrome" It's sad, I agree, but even those women who have had the "tar" beat out of them go back because they don't know what good love is. I hope you will be patient if you are in love with one of those women and be her friend, she needs that more than anything. One day they wake up, eventually we all do. If you can be their friend it will be the blessing they need. It doesn't mean you have to wait around for them to wake up, just be strong when they are not. Kim
Thanks Kooper, I am in the process of weeding out the BS myself. I think it leaks over into my personal life and therefore has influence on the way others view me.
Thanks MorninGloria, My next thread comes from your reply, I might catch some flak from it but after all it is just a question ! It should be fun.
Thanks Dark, Point taken that it is not exclusive to women only, it is a human thing.
Thanks Deianeira, I am glad that you were able to get out of your abusive relationship. I do not seek out ladies with bad relationships, they seem to gravitate to me for whatever reason. I am very trustworthy and all my friends know this, I am easy to talk to so my friends do.
Thanks Adrian, Excellent point, “If a flower is constantly beat down and can never bloom, it will always look like a weed!”
All you have to do is read through a few of these threads and you will see a lot of examples of people who thrive on it so much they create it out of nothing. Just "attention seekers" wanting everyone to feel sorry for them. I never will.
First off, don't tell them that. They want to hear crap like that. That is why they tell you their problems. You are like their lil comfort crutch, who is being used to feed their ego and such. (Most) women want the prize, so make yourself not so available. Pretty much, you listen to what they want, and you make them meet you halfway. If you are the type who will "Do anything for love". Then seek out someone who has been abused to make you feel like "The Man". Although if you seek a good relationship, look for someone who is very family oriented.
I ran into too many women who let themselves get used, and it never stops. They go and complain to another guy, the (neutered) "gentleman" then takes the woman's side just because she is a woman (Who am I to call them a girl?), and she easily gives herself up because she "Thinks" she has all she wants, and you appreciate her less, for it was not a task. Or she doesn't respect you because you are neutered and seeks "The Bad Boy".
You have to examine Today. Today, we got a lot of single women raising children today. Where is the example of a good steady marriage for these children? When you got TV shows with gold-diggers like "Who wants to marry a millionare?" and crap like that. People are easily influenced and can believe lies if they are funished well. People are lost but are free to believe what they want to believe no matter how right or wrong because society says "So long as it feels good". No one can handle having their feelings hurt anymore, Honesty is lost, and Lies seem like the right thing to do.
None the less, get to know both sides of the story before you believe that someone really has it that bad. No one is sick and tired until they are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Catch my drift?
