Why Do People Stay In Bad Relationships?

Oh I guess this applies to many women. I think women do take relationship very seriously. But guys do not treat it as such. We know it is important for us but if you would compel us to express or show our intent many would not do so. I think it is our nature as men that we are less expressive about our feelings with women. But if you would seriously talk we might as well tell you what our true feelings are. i think you should try talking but if he refuses then time to give him an ultimatum to wake him up from his wits. Many stays with bad relationships because they are the ones afraid of letting go which is being abused by many men that knows the women still clings with them. But leave them and they would realized that they also needed you. So for me why do people stay in bad relationships is because one doesn't want to let go.

There are many reasons. Probably you are afraid to be left alone; afraid that no one will love you again; afraid that if you leave, he will not follow you; and maybe because you still love him. But this I have to say, love takes two to tango. Problems normally arise in a relationship and it's common to sometimes feel bothered. But if you see that your respect for yourself is gradually decreasing because of this relationship, then it's time to exit. Don't expect other people to love you if you don't know how to love yourself. When love brings only pain, then it's time to give yourself a chance to be loved by someone who deserves you more.

Perhaps you are afraid of change it will bring to you.You have accustomed to your life and everything around you.You don't know whether it will be better or worse if something changes.

well dear,the inconsiderates are ment to be taught a lesson!he have taken you for granted,and this becomes an evil for the person who stays with the other!you make your self cushioned first and then go on with your own ways!!best of luck dear!as the most unfortunate person in this world is who dont give credence to the others love!they migh not be worthy of love!!

wow, you are so stupid sticking to him even if he treated you like that. you should break him up. wow, it is easy to say but so difficult to do. i know you are so inlove with this man. it is so evident because it is hard for you to leave him...

There are many possible reasons. Maybe you see it as a failure if you leave the relationship. If you do then well about everybody fails in something and in failure you learn and you should move forward. Do not let the mistake go further and it will become an even more bigger of a failure. Maybe you think your abandoning the person your in a relationship with. If you are both not improving in staying together then maybe you will apart, you could be just not helping yourself but him also. Maybe you think you could change him. Breaking up with him could be the trigger for him to change. Some people are just tick headed that no amount of words could make them change and only actions do. They think that it is still fine with the things they do, and by you still staying with him confirms their believes.

Fear can keep someone in a bad relationship. Comfort can also be found there. Often people in bad rlationships don't know they are in such a place. If they do, they do not how to escape their plight.

For it is true so that no heart feeling then let go.

I think the reason why there are some people who stay in a relationship even if its a bad one is because they are scared of not having another relationship after breaking up with a bad relationship. I think these people have lots of fears.

My guess on why people stay on a relationship which doesn't work is because they think they have invested a lot in the relationship that they think it would be a waste to through it all away. I personally won't stick in a relationship that I think wouldn't work out. I always try and look at the long term of a relationship. If I can't stand a person while we are still dating I certainly can't stand her if I spend the rest of my life with her. That is why I never force the issue when things won't work out between me and my partner.

Probably because you don't want to change? You're afraid of a life without someone like him. Someone to talk to? To lean on? Maybe you're afraid of ending up alone? That no one can accept you again? I'm not sure. But it's always some kind of fear that makes us do stupid things. We know what we should do, but we don't do it. i hope you find the courage to do the right thing, whatever it is in your eyes. Like some of the other posters said, you might want to talk with him one last time and see what can happen. Just be ready on what his response would be, whether something you would be pleased with or not.

your realizing that your relationship is not good for you is a first step. sounds like he's still a boyfriend; if that's the case then it simplifies things. because being married and having children to think of would be another matter. if you decide to break it off and move on, that's going to be a big change and i think everyone is somewhat afraid of the unknown. but better to do so while you can.

when people are in a relationships they don't mind anything even they were in bad relationships. all they care that they love that person and willing to stay with them even they were already hurts. like my mentor said to me, love is not blind, it sees but it doesn't mind. and the answer with this was all about love.

That's because you still love him. You have to know which point makes you still love him. There must be one. I think you can list all his good points and bad ones, then balance them. Try to ask yourself which is more crucial to you. If the bad ones bother you more, then maybe a break-up is a good choice.

see friend you have to leave some things personal to gents and at the same time you have to take care of your husband and you have to speak among yourselves and share your feelings.then there will be a chance to know about each other,love comes only when we share our feelings.you have to study the things around the environment and take care about him.then all problems will solve.

In my case, I stayed for the sake of my children. I've said to myself "I'll stay until I can bear the intensity of that sacrifice". I admit I've always been pushed beyond my limits. Am not sure anymore until when can I go on with the relationship. Another factor is the culture I am in. We don't have divorce here and the women here have the very little chances to get that annulment with the requirements, unless you are an influential person. Sad but this is a reality. I know this represents most of the inner thoughts of women/wives in a country with the same culture as I have.

If that's your boyfriend treatment to you, you should break up with him once because if he really loves you and cares for you he won't do such things like that so think twice. But if you want to stay with him well its your choice. On the other hand if you will break up with him you will be free as in free from pain, you can do all the things that you want to do, you don't need his consent. I will give you some proverbs "evil grows" what I mean is if now he can hurt your feelings what more if you're married with him and the worst he can hurt you physically, emotionally sometimes he might kill you, so today you should make a reflection about your boyfriends attitude and you need to make a decision about your relationship.

probably because you're used to having him around... he's your comfort zone, you already know what's going to happen. losing him means being single again. being unattached. not having someone around all the time. if you're not in love with him anymore, how can you find someone better, someone you deserve if you continue to stay attached to him? go find a better guy! ;)
