I just don't get it

I am completely bewildered.

Someone I know has been living with a no hoper of a man for 7 years. She is an attractive intelligent woman in her thirties with a lovely personality. She used to go out with lawyers and investment advisers. Now she has this man. There is only one thing you can say about this guy - he is pretty. That is the only thing about him though that is in any way attractive. He has an IQ below average. A normal conversation often goes completely over his head, he has trouble understanding the plots of movies, the guy is just darn stupid! He works intermittantly, most of the 7 years she has supported him. When he does work he only does labouring type jobs (as he is just not capable of anything else) so his income is limited.

So I could probably understand that if he was a pretty but sweet natured idiot. But he's not. He's violent when angry, though he has never hit her he throws things at her (including large potplants and bits of furniture) when they have an argument. He has been caught being unfaithful to her several times (once with a 15 year old girl which really just makes my skin crawl...) He has systematically alienated her from her friends and family over the last 7 years - most are now waiting for her to kick him out before they contact her again. I have seen her in tears several times over things this man has done (mostly the infidelity), she knows he is a bastard. He has written off her car - and since he didn't have a drivers licence there was no insurance.

I can only assume it was her biological clock ticking.

So help me, she is having his baby. And they planned it...

Yeah but honestly there are bastards and there are bastards and this one is of the totally bastard variety LOL. I mean I've known some bastards intimately but they were half amusing to have round. Nothing even vaguely amusing about this one - you couldn't even take him anywhere, he's so stupid you'd be embarrassed (unless she is so enamoured that she just can't see people sidling away cos he talks such rubbish) All I can conclude is that under the apparent outgoingness the woman has some extreme self esteem problems. Before the bastard she had this lovely lawyer man who adored her. He was okay looking (not that that matters just thought I would add that since the bastard is pretty - but who the hell wants to have to fight for space in your mirror), intelligent, very funny, well paid, no apparent bad habits - she dumped him cos he was boring! Go figure! (I think he wanted to get married and have kids)
*shrugs* he's not violent either you know - he never hits her (the bruise on her arm is where the coffee table hit her when he threw it) Pass the tui's...
Probably be a pretty baby, but really she is scraping the bottom of the gene pool!
Can't save some people from themselves I guess.
