Strength of a woman
I was having lunch with a doctor friend of mine and the conversation somehow geared towards
violence in relationships,specifically towards wives.
He cited depressing example upon example of the women he treats and counsels.
One male patient even beat up the wife while he was admitted.In front of the other patients.
The question we couldn't adequately answer is why the women stay in such relationships.
Of course there's the usual reasons-status,children,finances,religious and cultural beliefs,stigma etc
He kept saying that women are strong-able to endure hardship.
But is it really?
Is it strength that makes a woman sleep on the couch in her own house as her husband has
a one night stand on the marital bed?
Is it strength or stupidity?
