Have you ever question someone actions to a very avoidable situation

I've had friends that purposely stay in situations where they know they can avoid, and I don't mean living with the OP, I mean relationship situations, they would constantly complain about them and say they hate their actions and tired of their repeated behavior. But then continue to go back to them, and whenever a fight happens, the women would try to make it up by buying gifts and tolerate the clear disrespect the OP is giving them.

And this can go both ways in gender, I'm just using this as a example taken from a real situation.
