OK, Seriously

Why are women so fucked up?

I have a friend, who had broken up with her boyfriend of 8 or so months. They ended up fighting a lot since the breakup, and it got to the point where the guy said a couple of things along the lines of:

a) He hoped she'd die when she went in for surgery.
b) He should have beaten the shit out of her when he had the chance.
c) He cheated on her (which turned out to be he was all set to sleep with some other girl not long after the breakup, but she stopped him. His story was very different).

So she tells me how she hates being alone, and she needs to be with someone to be happy, and that means settling for a relationship that she knows is shit.

And sure enough, she was right. Not long after all this happened (about 2 weeks after he wished death upon her), they're back together. I was upset about this, and asked her why. She said she thought about it, and decided that they could make it work this time. I tried to tell her about all the things she told me, but she wouldn't hear any of it. She said I should just be happy for her, and I said that I couldn't be happy knowing she's setting herself up to be hurt by this POS who doesn't deserve to be with someone like her.

So she stopped talking to me. I can't be happy for her crawling back to McDickshit, so she hates me. I didn't yell at her, insult her, or anything. I did act a little upset over all this, but I didn't say anything that could have been taken as mean. I just asked her questions to make sure I knew what was going on (that she was back with this guy), and then said I couldn't be happy for her.

So fine, I'm the bad guy. She hates me. I really don't care (though I find it funny how a guy who wants to beat the shit out of her gets to fuck her, and I get thrown aside because I actually care what happens to her). But why the fuck do girls do this? She KNOWS this guy is a pile of shit, but she NEEDS to be with someone, so she's back with him. Why why why? And how can someone make her STOP?

I just know she's setting herself up to be this guy's doormat, and she's going to get hurt again (possibly in the physical sense, after this guy;s comments). He's no good for her, and I despise him for saying things to her that even I would never say to anyone I claimed to care about. I just don't see how the fuck she could want/need to be back with this guy. She deserves better than this no-good pathetic pile of shit.
