i met this man, and upon meeting him, he asked me what do i think of women who stay in abusive relationships….i felt that was odd to ask someone whom u r getting to know…is he warning me, he is abusive and that’s what he is planning on doing to me if i decide to take this further? thanks

What was Your answer?

Just trust your gut. You were uncomfortable for a reason. It’s a sexist question anyway, anyone can be in an abusive relationship, but he’s assuming it’s a woman. No matter what, it is a weird question to ask a stranger.

How did the question come about ? Did he randomly bring it up , I would appreciate context. Also curious about your response like @Raven.
AngieBaby
My response would have been: “What do you think of men who ask bizarre questions?”
The question implies abused women have a choice to stay. If they had a choice, they would leave. But they stay basically for one of two reasons: because they don’t believe they can go for some reason or for practical reasons they can’t go.
It would be helpful if you would provide more context of this conversation.
