I'm seeking some insight into how and why people stay with their partners for a long time. I'm not looking for a Hollywood style, romantic love story from anyone.
I want to know the gritty truth of how difficult it gets, how many times people have been tempted to just give up...
But why you didn't.
I suppose, in a society where you feel like divorce is just another answer to your problems, I'm looking for REAL peoples' reasons to why staying is worth it.
I ask this because I see a lot of people around me who are unhappy but stay with their patners. I'm just trying to get into their heads. Call it... research for a curious, forward thinking mind.
Before any assumptions are made about me: I'm taken.
