Most women, like this fiancé’ are completely dependent on their partner financially. They call 911 when they fear for their life, but when they realize they’ll have no home, no income and no insurance, they charge their mind.

It’s not like there’s anything preventing her from getting those things. She can file divorce and get some of the assets. She can find her own job. If she doesn’t want to do those things, then fine. I understand DV victims recanting their statements, but can we not at least allow adults to make their own decisions, however disappointing those decisions may be to somebody outside of the situation.

Sigh…

Except when you are not married you are not necessarily able to escape the abuser while maintaining the financial stability they provide.

Which was exactly the point the original comment made to which you responded with your mistaken assumption of their marraige status.

Lol why are you being downvoted?

Your take is actually empowering because it means people have the capability and power to change their lives, rather than accept fate and stay in a shitty cycle of abuse.
