In Hills Like White Elephants, Ernest Hemingway tells a story about a man & a woman & the situation that they’re in. The story took place in Madrid, Spain at a train station. Throughout the story the man & the woman discuss the woman having a procedure that the man wants her to have. She doesn’t want the man to leave her or to be mad with her so she agrees to having the procedure even though she doesn't want to deep down inside her.
Does she stay in her relationship with the man? My prediction is that she did stay with the man. I think she stayed with the man because she doesn’t want the man to like get mad with her or leave her. She was willing to go through a procedure & go against herself & what she really wants just for the man. I think if she was already willing to do that just for him, then why would she leave him. Although she doesn’t see how he forces her to do what he wants by using her emotions against her, I think she stays with him for now until she realizes that. When have you made a important choice to stay in a relationship or leave a relationship -- OR -- stay or leave a difficult situation?

I agree on why you think she will stay with him. Maybe she really does care about him and wants to work through this. If she loves him she’s willing to get past this and do whatever makes him happy. It’s tough to say why she would want to stay if he thinks the operation will be easy even though it’s a human being.
