I don’t think it’s a “physically abusive relationship” at all, (where did you read that?) but it is emotionally destructive. He has told her to leave, and that he doesn’t care about her. She stays because she cannot let go. She stays because she wants to save and “change” him. She stays because she is afraid of being alone, and of losing all that time she has been with him. She keeps hanging on, and it is a total lost cause.

Mary Anne it is not physically abusive just now, but could easily turn so, and is not unusual for it to turn so. The leave me if you dont like it, is more likely a method of control rather than apathy. I agree entirely that she should get out but it needs to be planned and advice taken from abuse agencies.
