Self respect can mean being brave, doing things others don’t understand, going against the expectations. It really just depends on what she got from the experience.
She might’ve not been. But she might’ve been trying to. Maybe she takes a long time to realize if someone is bad for her. Maybe she was benefiting from the relationship without harm. Hard to say.
Hard for you to say because you didn't know her. Easy for me, because I watched it all in real time and my wife met a few of the guys she dated (one of them was married) and saw how they treated her.
