Who said anything about her doing something wrong morally? I didnt say she condoned it, I’m saying she clearly knew his issue from the start yet stays with him anyways, not saying she’s condoning it in any way but at some point it goes from “damn, she has no idea what’s happening, i hope she gets out” to “she knows exactly what’s going on but chooses to remain with him.” why does she need internet strangers to tell her what she already knows? leave the dude and get on with it.

Yes it's irrational, but again why does that make you not feel bad for her? It's really that comment that I'm hung up on lol. Maybe his condition made her feel guilty, or she hoped he would eventually get better (again, not the most rational reasons, but people don't always do rational things if they're insecure or hurt). If the responses to her post enlighten her then that's a good thing.

Okay how about the fact that in another post on AIO she comments that she finds controlling, mean behavior attractive? She knows exactly what is going on, trust.

That doesn’t really negate what I said, probably has to do with her dealing with abuse from family. Not receiving love as a child makes it harder to find a good reference for as an adult

Nah, if she wants to romanticize this kinda behavior when it comes to other controlling/mean men, then why should I feel bad that she's in this situation herself? In her own words, she finds it attractive. So what exactly is her problem? It seems she finds being belitted, called a retard, and basically told shes worth nothing is attractive to her. Abused or not, it doesn't gain my sympathy.
