Women stay because they are manipulated into doing so... threats are made and fear makes them stay. Men that like to hit women are charming and are good at making women swoon and women fall for them easily.... but once they "have you" they instill fear in you to keep you. After the beatings... its always "apologies, bargains, gifts, and excuses" until the next altercation which will almost certainly get worse.

Abusive men don't walk up to you and slap you... they are the masters of seduction, and then a slap or snatching you up happens when he's angry.
I lived this with my mother... I can even tell when a fight is about to happen. The nicer these men are, the worse those men end up being.
