This is interesting. This says that abusive men are psychologically
incapable of leaving the relation****p.

Why don't men leave relation****ps that are supposedly so unsatisfactory
to them?
If we listen to men who abuse their wives, what we hear is how terribly
inadequate these women are for the men. At the same time, we know that
abusive men are tremendously dependent on their partners. Fear of
rejection, emotional withdrawal, and/or abandonment are major factors
that actually cause these men to be violent. Men who batter women are
often psychologically incapable of leaving the relation****p.

got lots of work to do.]
