Many women who stay with abusive men were sexually abused by an adult male as a child. They think abuse is love, because that event is frozen in their subconscious.
It's possible for them to improve and break this pattern through therapy, but it does take some time.
All I know is that fully developed homosapiens don't feel affection for creatures that try to kill them.
This woman needs therapy to realize that attempted murder and love aren't the same thing?
As a society, we've become a little TOO analytical.
