Bruised Bride Stands By Her Man

A wedding day that ended in a double arrest last month didn’t stop the bride from standing behind her husband in Asotin County Superior Court Monday. Nathen E. Lewis, 21, of Lewiston, was arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct in Lewiston after he got married on Valentine’s Day. After he was bailed out of jail, Lewis went to a Clarkston home on 24th Avenue, but left after stopping his mother from calling the police on him because he was “out of control,” according to court records. His mother was able to push a life-alert button, but then another call was made to police by his wife Rebecca Lewis who reported being slapped and choked twice by her husband - who blamed her for his earlier arrest, according to court records. Lewis was rearrested around 2 a.m. on Feb. 15, this time by Asotin County deputies/ Brandon Macz , Lewiston Tribune. More here . (Illustration: Miami Herald)

Question: Why do some people put up with this kind of treatment?
