After thinking about this post in response to Lou, , I started to think, how many of us are stuck " in love" with someone who is really "abusive"?
It likely is not intentional, like some men who really don't know how to treat women, right or wrong, can this denial of affection be the "same thing" and should we treat it as such and find avenues the same as if we were battered? (not jail obviously)
