the syndrome where people remember things that stick
out...
i did say this before:
if a man is good to a woman all the time and screws up once, she
remembers that one screw-up.. mopes on it then decides he doesn't
love her that why he screwed up and cries bitterly and leaves
him...
if a man is terrible to a woman all the time and does one good
thing, she remembers that one good thing.. she keeps thinking about
it and says he loves her because he cares enough to do that good
thing... and she sticks by him no matter...
and i got hammered by the ladies for that... 
still, i think it's true for many abusive relationships out there
