Sometimes it's not about self esteem. Some girls just can't handle the thought of being alone. So until (or unless) something better comes along, she is perfectly content (not necessarily happy, but content) to stay right where she is because face it... it could be much worse.
(I have a sister who is exactly like what I just described. I love her dearly, but the thought of ever being alone scares her more than the idea of living contentedly with the same deadbeat of a man for the rest of her life.)
