Everyone responds differently, however, if I had been the victim of repeated knife-wielding invasion attacks, I would have taken "old Betsy" on as a roommate.

I'll never understand why anyone stays in these kind of abusive relationships. Especially when they're violent towards you. I would be out the door the minute any psycho tries to hurt me.

I'll bet you the farm that drugs were involved though.

According to the late and great Robin Williams, God gave man both a brain and a penis but only enough blood to run one at a time.

There are a number of reasons why victims stay with their abuser. Victims do not stay in abusive relationships because they enjoy being abused. Rather, they have very real, compelling reasons for staying, such as the fear of leaving is greater than the fear of staying. Fear of the unknown can be a powerful reason for “staying put.” Also, victims are often threatened with physical harm if they try to leave. Many victims feel that they have more control by remaining in an abusive relationship. They know their abuser’s whereabouts and moods and therefore know how to act in the way that will be least likely to trigger their temper. The victim fears that if they attempt to leave, the violence could extend to their family or friends who are helping them escape.The abuser promises that it will never happen again; the victim wants to believe that this is true. Also, the victim may believe that the abuser is sick and needs their help. The idea of leaving can thus produce feelings of guilt. 

 

Also, he victim may come to believe that they somehow deserve the abuse. The abuser has destroyed any sense of self-esteem they once had and therefore they now may believe that they don’t deserve anything better. Most people enter a relationship for love and the emotion does not simply disappear in abusive relationships. Most victims want the violence to end, but love their partner and want the relationship to work. A lack of money can make these situations even harder because many options for leaving require payments, such as a hotel fee or a plane ticket. If the victim does not have the means to do these things many of their options disappear.

I don't know these two but I think it's not accurate to indicate that the deceased "stayed with" the alleged killer.  He had a stay-away order, after all, at the time of the killing if I read the article correctly, so this could be the type of relationship where one party is trying to break free and the other keeps showing up.  True, you could say that the victim in this case should have just called the police every time the guy showed up, violating the stay away order, and it appears he didn't do that.  Since the abuse had been going on for years, one could also question why they were still married.  I've never been married but I understand divorces that be messy, costly, and take a long time to conclude so maybe that's all that was going on in this case.  As written by NipLuvr212 above, there are all sorts of potential reasons why the deceased might have chosen to not break totally free of the alleged killer.  All anyone here can do is speculate as to what their reality was unless someone here personally knew these guys.
