I feel like, most people who are 30+ do not put up with bullshit, especially in relationships.

What would be causing someone in their 40s to stay with a deadbeat and verbally abusive partner?

They think they can't do better.

Valid Point

A few things probably play a part, like the fear that they're too old to start again, the fear of being judged, concern over finances and shared assets, concern over lifestyle changes, etc.

Also abusive partners aren't usually shitty all the time, a bit of good mixed in with a lot of bad can be a very powerful psychological combination (see the Stockholm syndrome).

Interestingly it turns out the people that make the most love-filled posts on Facebook and are always sharing their ideal happy life pictures are often some of the most miserable in their relationships. Like there's something about being in a shitty relationship that makes people want to advertise how happy they are, like a form of wishful thinking.

You're right. It's just fuckin sad. Like, Ive been in a abusive relationship before, and there is absolutley no way Id let Someone treat me that way again.

Like, I'll punch you in the face and set your Car on fire. Even just with people, if someone is being a dick, I will call them out.

I have zero tolerance for people's bullshit.

Damn right, stick to your guns, fuck that shit.

We can have 2 total different discussions here. But to simplify in a short straight to point 1 is fed up & 2 is deadbeat, verbally abusive, & the most devoted partner who ain't going anywhere fuck you.

That is a happy couple right there!
