Why do some men enjoy hurting women?

Why do some men enjoy hurting women? The sort of man who tells a woman he loves her, but repeatedly does things he knows will upset and hurt her.

What is it with those men, why are they like that and why do those women put up with that sort of thing even though it brings them nothing but hurt?
It's complicated and you've gotten a lot of good answers. All of them are true.
I used to try to convince women they didn't have to put up with that. It's really hard.
Since leaving an abusive man is the most dangerous time in the relationship, it has to be her call when that happens, too. All you can do is be ready to support the effort when she jumps. If she jumps.
