I don't think it is much about physical abuse in a relationship, but more likely just emotional anguish and the need to cause it. I might sound like an asshole, but I can relate on a personal level, and I know it is one of my biggest flaws, but there is something gratifying about knowing someone cares about you so much that you can make them cry. It's a feeling very terrible yet very sensual at the same time. I've fallen for many girls just watching them cry. To me it's about being in a relationship with someone you really care about. He loves her yet causes so many fights and arguments and bullshit just to see if she loves him enough to cry. She cries, and the mascara runs, and there you have it.
