The common factor in almost all abused people is the total loss of all self-esteem. Not just feeling unattractive etc I mean the deep-seated 'knowledge' that there is no way they could EVER function alone. Another theme is that the abuser is the only one willing to put up with such a useless lump of crap (Insert cruel words of your choice).
In some relationships the abuse is purely mental, in others physical abuse seems the main element - but believe me, the mental abuse is ALWAYS there. And the abuse can develop very slowly, so slow that the victim and often their friends aren't aware of it until it's too late. The victim is alone with the abuser, the friends have been driven away and there is (apparently) no way out.
If a guy simply thumps me I would walk away - of course I would. And I could do it easily. But if that thump came after months or years of subtle and constant mental undermining, browbeating and belittling anyone would struggle and many would fail to escape.
That's why people 'put up with' abuse - they totally believe they have no choice.

I think the word depression is used far to easy and sometimes people are just feeling a bit low, i remember a while back my hubby going to the doc about a totally unrelated issue to depression and the doc gave him prozac :shock: he wasnt drepressed and he didnt take the pills but docs just had them out far to easy now days

I do handyman stuff. I can assure you that shagging the 'milkman' its almost non existent. Most wifes or husbands are just keen to have someone competent come and sort out their various domestic problems. that's all.
However I have met one guy who was offered 'payment in kind'. I have to say he was the most unlikely guy to attract anything lke that. He declined the offer as he needed his wages.
There was one job I did when the lady appeared in the house bursting into tears about redundancy and a host of financial problems. Wearing her dressing gown and a pair of slippers.
It could have been a temptation to the easily persuaded. But it was a dangerous situation to attempt to get into. I thought about the money I needed.
I talked calmly to her for about 45 minutes and eventually she pulled herself together. I had to sit in another seat, because if I'd gone up close to her, I think it could have lead onto something. just a little cuddle or something, but then easily turning into sex. But I think she was vulnerable enough to go as far as offering sex.
