Abussive Relationships

When I think about people who are in abusive relationship's, I don't understand why girls even stay with their partners. I don't even understand why guys would want to beat the person that they love and care about in the first place. I think it is sad that there are so many girls out there who are in abusive relationships, but I also think that there is something they can do to stop it. Most girls are too scarred to leave their partners, which I think is stupid. If you are getting abused you should just go to the police or to a friend/family member who can do something about it. Mainly, I believe that the guys who do this need the most help to get over their anger and find out why they are so abusive. The girls who suffer through this also need to get help, not only help to leave their partner, but most of them would need a councilor because an abusive partner would severely lower your self-esteem. I think in some cases, girls may bring it upon them selves, for example if they cheated on their partner, but for the most part girls don't have any thing to do with weather or not they get beat.
