Why stick around if he stresses you out or makes you unhappy

Okay, so I have this friend, she always comes to me when she has a problem with her boyfriend. Which, I don't have a problem with because, she has always been there for me when I needed someone to talk to when I had relationship issues. Well, anyway she told me that he just simply seems like he doesn't care, that all he cares about is himself and all. Well, my friend she's a single mother, she has two kids that she is trying to care for and everything. Well, one night, she was in her home someone had shot through her childrens bedroom and shot her daughter in the foot. So of course she called the ambulance, like any suspecting mother would. And then she called her family. My friend is really close to her family and that is something that I can understand, that you would want to call your family in a situation like this. The childrens father is in another state in the military. So anyway, then she calls her boyfriend to let him know. He gets angry at her because she did not call him first and that she had called her family and that she had picked her family over them. Now they have not been together for long only for a few months, he isn't thinking of marriage and she is like wondering if she should marry this man. So he got upset because she didn't call him first instead of calling 911 or whatever. First I think that that is selfish, and second of all they're relationship is not strong enough for her to call him. So anyway, because of that he really proved that he was upset, by not calling her for weeks. Now this to me would think that he doesn't care. I would think that if you were to call a boyfriend and tell them that your child just got shot and stuff, that he would be right over and be helping out. So during this time, she's been all upset over it. Crying, like I don't think this is a person I want to marry and I don't even know I want to be with him any more. He is always stressing me out and stuff and always making me upset. I have two kids to worry about here. And on top of that when I was going through all this he was no were to be around for a few weeks. Well, anyway, after him not visiting or calling her for a few weeks, he eventually calls and says that he misses her. And well now they are still together. Why stick around with someone who seems not to care about you or your children. I don't know if that was me, I would have broken it off. But thats me, what is everyone's thoughts on this.
