"Decent" guys who end up in bad relationships
#1-have low self esteem and feel this is the best they can do.
#2-Pick attractiveness over personality.
#3-The relationship started out great and has gone sour, and are scared to bail...threats of suicide, or has something on them.
#4-The sex is crazy good and frequent, so why toss that away over some bitchiness.
#5-Too in love, and hope it get's better.
#6-Shining Knight Syndrome....feel they are obligated to help them with their mental, anger or finacial issues, don't have the heart to abandon them.
#7-Not really a decent guy. We don't know what happens behind closed doors.
#8-Stay because a child is involved (not necessarily their kid).
I know a very hard working, sweet guy, that is one of those "decent guys" that is in a horrible relationship. She has medical issues so she can't work, she is insanely insecure, has jealous fits, accuses him of infidelity, questions why he talks with his friends so long, checks his phone all the time, she has a kid from another relationship, She doesn't allow him to go anywhere without her like to the mall (he might look at girls from what he told me), and now it has gotten to the point where she is pushing him to hit her (he hasn't tho) during their arguments (started by her of course). I have had many mom talks with him, and my predictions have been right, and he admits to it but he feels he will be abandoning the kid, and they will end up on welfare living in a shit hole. He just can't bring himself to put them in that position.
