Often, women are seen reconciling with their abusive partners and when asked why, the common answer has always been 'because I love him'. Therefore, question hereof is, is love alone worth sustaining a relationship even when it is evident that the partnership in between is not working?
Rather could it be that women who find themselves going back to such abusive relationships returned with the hope that the guy would perhaps change over time? Or is it the case that once an abusive men always an abusive men? Does this in anyway not contradicting the fact that every man has in him a room for change? Perfect example would be Patric Shai who stood up against his abusive behaviour and made it known to the nation that he used to beat up his wife for his own satisfaction. However, later into it, he took initiative to seek relevant help. Following this initiative was a TV commercial where he explains this uncalled for behaviour that through professional help he has managed to escape and now a face for the campaign, fight against woman and child abuse.
For this very reason and other related scenarios where men have managed to change to be better husbands and boyfriends, are we saying that women should then hope that their man too have room for change? If so, how long will it take for him to change? And what should the woman do during that process of change, be patient perhaps? But how do you remain patient in a house where you don’t receive affection from your significant other?
It is time for women
to stand up and fight against abuse before this could have a major effect on
their lives. Abuse may lead to psychological and physical disorder. Women play
a major role in societal development and they should be protected.
