I think the clickbait title doesn't do justice to the nuance of your actual article.

At the same time, I also believe that you're seeing things from a particular perspective that maybe misses all the men who do stay on in emotionally abusive relationships out of loyalty to family and kids. For example my father allowed himself to be abused by my mother for years (she also abused us kids), and would likely have never left her if she hadn't eventually kicked him out. His whole worldview was that to be a good man meant being self sacrificing, being the stoic who endures whatever is necessary to keep the peace and provide for those he loves.

He did come from a particular religious background so maybe he avoided the conditioning you talk about, maybe also his introverted personality played a part. But I would wager a lot of men are out there with similar stories.
