Why do women ask for advice about their bad husbands and then tell us they aren't leaving them?

Because the horns on their husbands' heads fit perfectly into the holes in the wives' heads. Plus she needs his paycheck, thinks she can't get anyone else, or believes that it's best for the kids if they stay together regardless of how rotten the marriage is.Why do women ask for advice about their bad husbands and then tell us they aren't leaving them?
Sometimes its easier to ask for advice but not take it. Sometimes, it's a way of crying out for help...and sometimes they cannot see the bad in their husbands or whom ever, they cannot see themselves ever living without them, they really love them and are in love with them...sometimes, they think that things can get better.





But all you can do is support them really. Be honest and dont agree with the bad, but be there.Why do women ask for advice about their bad husbands and then tell us they aren't leaving them?
asking for advice about how to make your marriage work doesn't mean you are asking for advice on how to leave. They are asking how to make it work. These days at the drop of a hat people get divorces. I think most people forget that the promise you made was for life and through thick and thin not 'I promise till he starts acting like a jerk, then I will take some stranger's advice and leave him.' We usually are asking how to get him to realize he is being a jerk.





Unless he is cheating or hitting the girl, you shouldn't advize divorce anyway :P
When they say, ';BUT, I love him';...he beats me every day, but I love him...he cheats, and is going to continue cheating, but I love him....it drives me nuts when they do that. You know they are going to continue living in that mess, regardless of what he does....due to lack of self esteem, fear of the unknown, too many kids, and the list goes on and on....
Because there are other options besides leaving them. Most people don't suggest the ';harder'; options because they assume that the poster has already tried those.





And some people...I don't know why....when they said for better or worse until death do us part....really did freaking mean it.
Some women don't know how to leave, they stay in these relationships because they feel that he is the best she can do, and that they can't make it on their own
Just because someone is told to leave a bad marriage does not always mean that they can. It is always easy to give advice but sometimes hard to take advice.
Beacause usually they are uneducated, unskilled, insecure or just like drama.





Most of those women are only good at spitting out kids.
Because some wives don't leave their husbands based on what a bunch of strangers of the world tell them...they just want our point of view and advice.
The thought of leaving him sounds great to them but then they just can't get up enough courage to do it.
insecure.
really good question
they want someone to hold their hand and call their husbands bad names
That's a good question.
