If you found out a man...

Had been violent to his ex would you still date him?

My friend has just found out the man she’s known one week hit his ex yet she’s still dating him. I just don’t get it, she’s 30s a professional and has a child herself.

Would you still date him? I obviously get why women don’t leave violent relationships but I don’t understand why someone would willingly date someone who they know has been violent and she justified if by saying she thinks he “only” hit her. I’m finding it hard not to judge.

The thing it’s really hard to take a step back as we speak daily and this is all she will go on about. I certainly do suspect he is after child care.

She’s had an abusive relationship in the past but it was her child’s father and over 10 years ago it ended. She’s had other relationships since but they have always been quite short and never seem to last long.
