I think the point you made there to me is a sensible one. The impression I get these days is that for some it's just the thing that you do. It interests me somewhat as I have a friend who is looking to conceive but is in a bad relationship with a level of abuse, from the outside you would not know, but I think the last thing they need is a child. I also know people who have established good careers and have planned in their children which to me sounds lie the best approach.

 

But yes GJ, it's a hot topic.

Agreed. But I've never understood the mindset of women who stay in the relationship, and of course unless I experience it I probably never will. I suspect it has something to do with control and lowering of self esteem, but in this case she is still a strong person with me and in public and it's sporadic abuse. I don't know I wish I did.
