Why Would You Keep Going Back To Him?

ok so i have this friend lol
and she likes this guy and they have gone out a couple of times but thats the thing, they break up because he soooooo mentally abusive. one minute she hates him, the other she is blowing off all her friends to be with him
can someone please tell me wth is going on?
im getting really sick of seeing her hurt
because of him but she just goes crawling back to him.

Well it sounds like she is confussed with her self you need to show her what he looks like to you so she can see passed the love glasses that often blinds us all to the really person we are looking at

My friend is going through the same thing too. After talking to her though, I've come to the conclusion in my mind that she doesn't feel she deserves the respect she should get, because she doesn't respect herself. And/or perhaps she's shared so much with him and does not want to let that go to waste, which is dumb because she's wasting the best years of her life on him, but doesn't want to wait for the right person, even if it is for right now, to come along. I don't really know what to do in this situation, because in my situation no matter ho many people talk to her or what they say she won't listen, so there's no point with my friend. But maybe your friend will listen. It's worth a try. Tell her that even though it may not seem like it, she deserves WAY more respect than what she's getting. And it may be hard to wait, but if she does wait for the right one it will be worth it in the end. :-)

i have told her that
and she knows she does

but theres a part
of her that still likes him
but i mean i like him
he's okay as a person
he's just an asshole of a boyfriend

so im thinking that she may just adore him or something
idk im hoping because she doesnt need to go
through the pain AGAIN.

thanks for the responses!

I have been through that...
It sucks.

Stick with your friend, no matter what.

I didn't have any frineds to help me when I was hurt, so I guess that was my main reason for repetitive dating... I'm not sure exactly why though...
