Why did Rihanna take Chris Brown back?

i think that she should NOT be getting back with him! No one should put up with abuse. I do not Rihanna to be one of those weak, emotionally tied people in an abusive relationship. I do not see why ANYONE would put up with that, and Rihanna could have anyone that she wants. Chris may promise to not do it again, but he might. If he did it once then he is capable of doing it again. If she is lucky then maybe they will be fine and it was just a one time thing, but i'm not sure.

Women in abusive relationships unintentionally follow a certain pattern: a woman gets beaten up - the guy says sorry - she takes him back - she hopes he can change. Then the cycle repeats. It is a viscious cycle and a very common one. Is is said that a woman experiences beating for about 6-8 times before she finally decides to leave a guy. If Rihanna doesn't get out of the relationship now, the beating is bound to happen again and again. If she's lucky, she may come to her senses before something worse than a beating happens to her. Let's just hope she doesn't get the same luck as OJ Simpson's wife.
