REALITIES
“Why do good women put up with horrible guys and ignore the good ones?”
They’re probably too in love to leave. Or they’ve been conditioned to be submissive.
I have a few friends who are in relationships with these types of men. The truth of the matter is that as much as we like to keep telling them to break up with them, it’s not that easy.
I can’t pretend to understand how it’s like to be in a toxic relationship where I want to leave, but I’m unable to. But I guess I can liken it to growing up in a toxic family. You may curse them and hate them all you want, but you can never bring yourself to leave.
“Good women” are sometimes either too nice or too docile. They have a hard time speaking up against their parents or partners. This makes them easy to manipulate by men who want an easy relationship. Horrible men especially know how to manipulate a woman’s insecurities too.
If you know someone who’s in this kind of relationship, the best thing to do here is to be there for them. Support them but never pressure them to break up with their partner. Just constantly tell them they deserved to be treated better. And if they outright ask for help, that’s where you step in.
