Letting herself be loved by someone else. Giving herself permission to love someone else. So much is at risk.

Maybe so, but you are assuming that this is the reason that marriages lasted longer in days gone by.

Sometimes (many times), you don't really get to know your partner until some years down the track.
Money and perceived independence are the greatest factors in marriage breakdowns these days IMO.

My husband and I live week to week and sometimes do it tougher than we would like. We both work hard. Weve had 3 close family members pass on in the last year. Life is sometimes a bit of a sh.t.

Despite all of that, we love each other deeply. We laugh often, cuddle lots and always, always appreciate each other. I will never take how lucky I am for granted and I have complete trust in him to be the same. I can honestly say I wouldnt trade a minute of life with him for a million dollars.

Those things are the key to a lifelong relationship. My children know the value of love and respect and I hope they are as lucky in their partnerships as I am.

I can't do this, but I'm doing it anyway.

I agree with that, even if it is in an alcohol driven frenzy.

Like the saying goes....

I have yet to meet a rehabilitated woman basher.

I am not sure i agree entirely with that.. to me its just another excuse for bad behavior...

if you desire the treatment all well and good it may work.. but if its ordered as part of a deal.. I would say it hardly ever works..it is after all only words isnt it??? counselling... Roll Eyes

most abusive people do not admit they have a problem... they are always driven to act the way they do....if we give them any more "treatments" they can always say.. oh it wasnt enough or the counsellor wasnt the right one for me...I thin k its high time we gave these people a choice... do it again and its 10 years in jail at the minimum only allowed one 'mistake.'

Their excuse is usually that the victim asked for it. I can't see too many abusers agreeing to therapy.
