That is what has always puzzled me about them doing that. These are just personal observations on people that I have known. It is like the women who jump from one abusisve relationship to another. If they ever meet anyone who tries to be good to them, they aren't interested.
Very true. In my younger days, I used to swear I had-'scuse the language here-a$$hole radar. Then I wised up and realized that I wasn't demanding enough of myself, and therefore was settling for worse treatment than I deserved as a result.
After that epiphany is when I met Mr. Ex.
However, there are some women out there (and I state this from personal observation) that seem to take great pleasure in being able to denigrate their husbands. Like any other abuser, they feel the need to control others through humiliation.
