Co-dependency

Why does a woman who just divorced herself from an abusive husband so often get herself into another abusive relationship?

One of the factors could be that the woman does not feel herself worthy of a better partner. "I don't deserve to be loved because I'm a bad girl", she says to herself.

Even if she meets a nice guy he will be tempted to treat her with less respect than is proper because of her attitude and behaviour. The way she feels about herself does not go unnoticed.

Much more can be said about these kinds of relationships. The people who are best at analising them are, in my opinion, members of the Arbinger Institute.
