Why do people stay in abusive relationship?

Partners in abusive relationships have varying reasons for remaining in them. The first reasons why someone may stay in an abusive relationship is practical, even if they are not always rational. Some abused people feel they cannot leave their relationships because they are economically dependent on them. For example,an abused stay-at-home mother may feel that she cannot leave her abusive relationship because if she did, she would have no way of providing for her children. Other abused people stay because they believe that is the proper thing to do, given their religious or cultural background. Some practicing Catholic people believe that divorce is a bad thing to be avoided at most all costs.
 The second reson why some perople stay in an abusive relationship is uncovered by learning about the so-called "cycle of abuse." This is where all the emotion bottles and then the person release it by hitting on their partener. There is no clear beginning to the cycle of abuse, but for purposes of describing it, we can start at an arbitrary stage along its progression. Something event occurs, whether real or only imagined by the abuser, that generates feelings of anger or even rage. These feelings then lead to the second stage of the cycle, which is where the actual abusive behavior occurs. Such behavior may be verbal, physical, emotional/mental, or sexual in nature. If the cycle stopped here and stayed constant, most victims would find it very easy to leave and not endure abuse for long periods of time. However, shortly after the abusive event occurs, the abuser frequently expresses remorse or guilt and wants to apologize. The abuser will swear, "It will never happen again" and may shower the victim with gifts and demands that the victim forgive him or her.
 It is up to you to stay strong and get out of that abusive relationship. If your partner love you they wouldnt hurt you or even attempt to hurt you.
