People stuck in bad relationships, how can you tolerate your partner's behavior

Hi! I've been there and good thing I've decided to stop the relationship. It's very exhausting and unhealthy. I'm happily in love with a caring, mature and responsible man right now. If you're not yet married I think it's best to break up because what more that person can do once you're married already? But it depends on what makes him a bad partner or what is his bad behavior about. If it's tolerable, acceptable or if it's already a violent one. If it's just about drinking, smoking or similar activities that can still be managed, then give that person a support to stop it or limit it. But if he has a pattern of insulting a woman, hurting or throwing things, then it's something that should not be just ignored.

I was in a bad relationship but this 'i will be able changer her' logic didn't work for me.However if it worked for other people i am happy for them.These situations are difficult because the success of your efforts depends upon the destiny and nature and preferences of your partner at that time.This girl i loved had a best friend but she did not have any feelings for him when she started dating me.It was after 4 months i realized that she is getting attracted to him and i made all efforts for trying to change her but nothing worked.So before facing the humiliation of her dumping me ,i ended the relationship.The thing is when you love someone and they start to change then this comes as a shock for us and we try to convince ourselves that we will make things right because we are not prepared for losing our love interest.I would say that if your love interest changes and if they have an option in their lives,then its very hard to make things right.Best wishes.

I see this more as a female thing and I can't for the life of me understand why a woman will choose a certain man and then want to change him. Why did she choose him in the first place if she wants him different from what he is? "What gives," is right.

I do not understand people who stay in a bad relationship especially those who are physically and mentally abused. I know most of those wives/women who stays in an abusive relationship knows better than I do- but why, yes, there is still this BIG WHY in my mind. Some say it is due to financial issue- the woman cannot take care of her children alone so they prefer to stay in an abusive relationship for the sake of her children. But why...is there no other way to earn a living and be free from the prison she was in? Some say...because of love...but what kind of love is that?
