What are the reasons a woman would want to stay in a relationship , where she is totally controlled by her husband/boyfriend?
This woman has a good job. .So its not for fiancial security
She has a colege education. She owns her house.
She has lots of friends. Good relationships with Family. Health is good Attractive, A truely caring person, that anyone would love to be with.
But she still wants to be in this type of relationship

I know women will seek out relationships that mirror childhood relationships. I sought out verbally abusive relationships for years..... I had a very verbally abusive (amongst other things) childhood.

I blundered into mine - through a series of bad choices - and then found myself in a nightmarish marriage. I felt controlled, and stuck, isolated and crazy. It took 2 years to escape it. Your friend probobly needs help more than ever but cant/wont/fears to admit it...
