12. Religious people stay in bad marriages because they feel they have to
They do not have better marriages.
They are even pressured to stay in abusive marriages.

1. Conservative women also allow their husbands to stick their dicks into anything without complaint
Wow! af and PTBBIR know every religious person and every "Conservative woman"? Whole lotta stupid stereotyping going on.
But, OK, stereotypes usually have
some basis in reality (usually mixed with
a lot of BS). Here's a true life bouncy:
One of my parents had mental problems (I know, explains a lot) and was verbally-emotionally abusive. But my Dad was faithful to my Mom to the day she died. Somehow, I don't think that's what af had in mind when she spoke of remaining in abusive marriages.
Another true life bouncy ... I attend a "mega-church" in San Jose. The senior pastor has spoken in sermons, more than once, of his advice to women whose husbands are physically abusive (i.e. what af had in mind, mostly). What he advises is rather simple, "Get out! Do what you need to do to protect you and your children!"
