Why does she stay?

So I was asked to write a blog as to why chics stay with a dude who isn't necessarily treating them right and here is what I came up with.


History- sometimes when you have a history with a person, it isn't so easy to just walk away. It's what you know, what your familiar with. Sometimes the good in that person outweighs the things that they are doing wrong at the moment, and the chic believes that 1 day "things will return to how they were". The Good Old Days..

The fear of the unknown- starting a new relationship is like moving to a new territory. No matter how much you THINK you know this new person, once your really acquainted things could turn out to be the same as what you were leaving. You always want your next to be better than your ex, and since there's no real way of knowing that without actually making that move, sometimes it's easier to stay.

Material/Future- sometimes chics don't value themselves more than the THINGS a guy does for her. So to you, he could be slacking in sooo many areas, but to her because he has X Y Z, or the potential to get/have these things, she won't go. She doesn't want to leave and another chic ends up with what she was supposed to have (Insert Beyonce's song lyrics " she gone be rocking chinchilla coats if I let you go… I can't let you go, damned if I let you go").

Payback/Guilt- remember there are 2 sides to every story. So just because you see that he is just dogging her from your point of view, you don't know the dirt that she has done. Not saying two wrongs make a right, but there are always 3 sides to a story her's, his, and the truth. CLEARLY a situation where both are dogging each other is just toxic, but it's just another reason why chics stay.

There are a lot of other things I could write about such as their past experiences with men, the way their mothers or whoever they looked up to dealt with men, etc.. There's no 1 reason. Umm that's all I have for now.. I will write more 1 day

Love the line: "but there are always 3 sides to a story her's, his, and the truth"

Well said, I say we start a "woman law" series or a series that put fellas up on game!
