“Domestic violence or abuse is about control” (Pisarra), the abuser has complete control over the victim this is the most abundant reason why it’s hard for a person to leave an abusive relationship. Both emotional and psychological factors keep the victim tied to the abuser. Sometimes situational realities, such as a lack of money, and lack of resources keep the victim from leaving. The reasons for staying in an abusive relationship will vary from one victim to the next, but they usually involve several factors.
In addition to all these reasons to why women stay in abusive relationships, is because women lose their self-esteem and eventually don’t have the energy to leave.
Both men and women have strengths and skills that are important for a relationship and growth. We need to ensure that both partners play an important role in a relationship so that it can benefit both parties and the relationship.
People who enter into polyamorous relationships also report an “At first… but then” experience. At first they believe that there is something wrong with them or that they are interested in cheating on their partners. After doing some research they find that there are others like them, and that they are not as abnormal as they originally thought. They discover that there are more people out there like them, and that it is possible to enter into multiple, honest relationships (Barker, 2005). More people might be interested in polyamorous relationships if they were not afraid of the repercussions placed on them by society. People are afraid of ideas that go against cultural norms, and nonmonogamous relationships definitely push the boundaries. They might view polyamorous relationships as more realistic for their lifestyles and how they feel about relationships, but are too afraid to enter into a polyamorous relationship because they are pressured by their culture to participate in exclusive relationships. Also, many people who do engage in polyamorous relationships are not actually “out” about their relationships or sexual interests. Very small numbers of people are actually open about their nonmonogamous relationships either sexually or emotionally (Barker, 2005). Many people are
Emotional and Sexual Infidelity Liberty University ABSTRACT There are many ways in which infidelity can be explained depending on what you are reading or with whom you are speaking.

Trust and Communication are the two most important components in a relationship, without these two components monogamy is hard to achieve. At the beginning of a relationship people need to lay out all his or her deal breakers. Society is not as conservative as before, but at the same time not everyone has joined the modern way of thinking. Some people are okay with having more than one partner, for example: swingers, polygamist, open relationships, threesomes, etc.… and some people are not okay with that. When entering a relationship we have to be able to communicate to the other person and trust that they are honest, and are not saying what the other person wants to hear. At the same time we need to respect the other
Various authors, poets, and playwrights have portrayed different stages of marriages in their works—such as Godwin’s “A Sorrowful Woman,” Duhamel’s “How It Will End,” and Jarvik’s “Dead Right,” respectively—by discussing certain elements in each couple’s relationship. Each creative piece is centered on important components that either show a strong marriage
Love requires time and devotion to develop into a relationship. There will be times where you will have to give up on your relationship, because the circumstances are not favorable.

The most important reason, is that monogamous relationships exist throughout the animal kingdom. As soon as we think there is no
Most importantly, the husband and wife need to both want the relationship and the lifelong commitment. In “The Girls in Their Summer Dresses,” part of the reason Michael and Frances’s marriage is falling apart, is because marriage is something Michael clearly did not want. When Frances asks him if he wants to be free from their relationship, he responds with “sometimes I feel like I would want to be free” (Shaw 8). Commitment is key to any relationship’s success. If two people enter a relationship, but have no desire or ability to work for it, the relationship is going to fail. Both people must commit to each other, as well as to the relationship. These are two different things. Commitment to another person, means being loyal, faithful, caring, and in touch with the other’s needs. Commitment to the relationship, means understanding your partner and working to put the relationship first. People often misinterpret putting the relationship first, as being selfless and giving in to the other person. Unfortunately, the

For some people, this is not an option or they tried it without success, then the proper etiquette is to be upfront about what their intentions are before sleeping together.

There is a principle that I heard from Tony Robbins that says every choice you make is based on pain or pleasure. Before you make any choice, you first decide which option will bring you pain or pleasure, and you may the choice that brings you less pain. So, staying in a relationship that is not happy must be the least painful option when faced with leaving or staying.
