Can someone please tell me why...

Why in the world would a perfectly healthy, sane, competent person who is more than able to support herself, stay with an abusive, lazy, disgusting husband?

When I hear about these situations, it just burns me up...I cannot understand why someone willingly stays married to a person who abuses them, uses them, demands *THINGS* from them constantly...why? If anyone out there has an explanation, I'd love to hear it...and it aint the kids...apparently they're grown!
