Women who have endured physical harm or battering from a partner often ignored the obvious signs of abuse that their partner had shown. They only see or recognise abuse when they have been hurt and injured.When it comes to excessive jealousy and control, women tend to view it as love; “He must love me so much if he doesn’t want any other man to have me,” is often the kind of analysis that women make up.
