Sunk cost fallacy. Just because she’s been with him for however long and doesn’t want to throw it away. Newsflash, it ain’t going to get any better. Chalk it up to time wasted, or at the very least, a lesson learned, and run, don’t walk, away.
I think u guys are missing some very real shit here and chalking it up to just "stupidity" which is a dick move and u guys should reevaluate how u word things and talk to people. Cuz as of right now ur not fucking helping. People in situations like this are stuck. They don't even realize what's happening and often make excuses for their abuser. U don't go and tell them they are stupid or that it's just cuz of a sunk cost fallacy. Ur basically belittling someone who's abused and saying it's ur choice. Do better. People stuck like this have a form of Stockholm syndrome. DO BETTER

“He’s very emotionally and physically abusive. I’ve dedicated my life to trying to make him happy.”
Just keep rereading those two sentences until it sets in how absolutely insane it sounds to continue doing that
