I think most people just don't want to start over and be alone, but I'd rather be single and alone than in a bad relationship.

In my case, there were a bunch of reasons. A) I gave as good as I got (not a healthy one, I know). B) I saw everyone else's lousy relationships and suspected mine was as good as they got. C) I had a lot of support from his family, if not him. D) I knew I'd be a financial cripple if I left.
I did leave, and the last was dead right (and I got my car stolen, to sweeten the deal), but I can tell you it was a weight off my mind and I didn't care if I had to be alone for eternity, so long as I didn't have to go through that again. Then I took up martial arts!

In some cases the person in scared to be alone or they may think that they can start over with a clean slate and it will make everything better but most of the time they love the other person so much they think they will change and everything will be better.

People who stay in relationships that are bad are NOT being loved! They are being disrespected and degraded.
And I'm going to say, I think some stay because they think there is no other option. There is of course but some choose to not make the proper choices.

Some people are co dependant and in my opinion its one the worst qualities you can posses. Im a 21 year old girl and so many of my girlfriends put up with cheating and lying because they "love" him. Its sad they arnt seeing clearly enough to reailize they are not being loved back!

Many people have a fear of being alone. They will stay un-happy in a relationship just so they don't have to face being alone. It is very unhealthy to do this, but people are desperate.

alot of people don't realize an relationship is bad for them until something traumatic happens. others know but feel if they stick it out it will get better. the third kind are simply in denial.

Just so they can tell someone that they have a man/woman.
Knowing damn well he's not there for her. Just to make it look
good. But inside she/he is just hurting themselves.
