Women give many reasons for running away. Many want to
escape a dissatisfying marriage. Sometimes they run when their husbands are in affairs, or
when they have been physically or emotionally abused.
Women often feel there is too much work and not enough appreciation from their husbands
and families. Sometimes the running away is to punish the husband for his lack of concern,
or is a means of getting his attention. Not having enough money is not the cause for
leaving, but the not having meaning in life and feeling unvalued by their husbands usually
is the reason for leaving.
