(I'm not picking on you, Adrienne. Really I'm not (-: ). The above happened to remind me of a related (and admittedly sexist) proverb: "A woman marries a man so she can make him over into the person she wants him to be. After she's done that, she divorces him because he's no longer the man she married." BTW, I've known men (including me) to chase after abusive women, too. Remember the discussion on "puppydogism"? Planning to "fix them up" doesn't seem to be the motivation there. More like fixing one's self up to make it work. Well a day.
