As bad as a relationship is, people stay for all sorts of BAD reasons. A man may be afraid he will have to pay through the nose for a divorce, be alone, not have anyone to come home to (as horrible as the spouse is) or have relations with. A woman is unhappy yet her home is a safe place to dwell. She doesn't want to think about moving herself, perhaps her children, the furniture, and wondering if she can support the family or herself without help from the spouse. Either gender, bad is bad, the alternative being better!

I've been others who are/were in bad relationships. I've had a few of those myself.
I think that even though the relationship appears "bad" or "dysfunctional" to some, both people are getting something out of the situation. Despite the fact that a man may disrepect his girlfriend or a wife disrespects her husband, each one of them find a level of comfort or solace in it - sick as it may be.
It could be as simple as both people are just used to each other or they might fear change.

The thing about starting over and learning someone else can be dreadful if you CARE about someone. So people stay in hopes of changing the situation for the better.

Because for some reason they feel comfortable and secure..Your leaving the bad known for the unknown and the unknown scares them into staying..

afraid of the unknown and they have usually lost all confidence in themselves and so to them a bad relationship is better than no relationship at all...and for the kids sake especially if they alot of kids.

definitely fear of change!
also know as fear of the unknown!
as humans we are afraid of that which we have no knowledge of. and most commonly in relationships, bad ones especially, we are afraid of change. what if we go separte ways and it goes all wrong... what if he/she does better at what i shoulda... what if if rode a horse? he'd be riding!! is my answer.
if if if. get a grip and grow up!
look the big bad boogey man right in the face and say i know u and u dont scare me!!!

They want to believe in a happy ending, because they think things will change. Its hard giving up on someone you love.
